Chino hills, CA · Member since 2018 · 33 posts · 8 votes

Hello, everyone! I am a motivated 22 year old soon to graduate with no student loans, I am very motivated to start my real estate investing career. I am a behavioral therapist currently located in Southern California, SGV. However, we all know how expensive it can be to invest here, so I've been looking into investing out of state! Any tips and tricks for my first investment property? Also, plan on doing going to some of the events soon too!

Even though I heard it a bunch of times that I should work with an agent that is an investor also I have now come to the realization that (at least in my short rei career) that this is very true. She has found me the best deals out there (I have yet to buy one) as opposed to the other agents. Just like you stated the other agents have me doing all the legwork sorting through all kinds of properties that don't even fit my criteria. I work a full time job and it's so time consuming. I actually emailed the other agents what the other agent sent me in order for them to 'get an idea' as to what I want and need. This way I can recognize potential deals a lot faster and hopefully make money for all of us involved.
Hope this helps. All the best to you...
