Newbie Looking to Network (Lakewood)

[Rochelle Duong]

Hello!
My name is Rochelle! I'm currently completely new to the whole real estate investing world, but I am excited on learning so much more about it. Currently a professional working in the healthcare field and am interested in starting out with wholesaling to make some extra profit on the side (and pay off these darn student loans faster).  

I'm interested in networking with anyone or any meetup groups located near the OC area. The only real estate education I've had so far has been a 3-day seminar, one audio book, and resources I have found online on the BP community. Would anyone know where/when the meetings are held?

Hello @Rochelle Duong and welcome to Bigger Pockets!  You can do this. Why not start small and buy some rural vacant land, say Kern or San Bernardino County for a $500, sell for $1500 and keep growing your acquisition balance to where you are comfortable enough to make some other choices? And while you are doing that you can sell a few of the nicer properties with owner financing and sit back and collect income per month per property for doing nothing. Totally not crazy. A ton of us are doing it. Great way to get rolling in real estate and since you are paying cash for everything you don't have to worry about credit - AND - you will sleep well at night because everything is paid for.  Hope this helps, and I wish you the best in your success!

Hey Anthony!

I didn't even know I could even do that! $500 down seems totally do-able starting out.

Where can I go to learn more about buying land property?
