Hello From Orange County

[Jace Im]

Hello everyone! I am new to real estate and have so much to learn. I am currently working in the federal sector being a military veteran, I am still looking to find my road to success. I find real estate investing so intriguing so I have decided to take part in learning and hopefully apply it towards my financial goals. I am more attracted to single family residential properties for building equity and cashflow. At least for now :) I look forward to getting any advices from all of you here! Thanks!

My advice would be to start by getting approved for a FHA or VA loan. As a veteran, VA could offer you much better terms. Then you can start shopping for a property and getting familiar with the different cities in OC. There are several cities with many 2-4, but OC is mostly a SFR/condo county. Best prices provably in Santa Ana, Stanton and Anaheim. Long Beach is best for 2-4 - we've sold quite a few there - and it's also a very solid rental market with plenty of jobs and a college, AND no rent control.
