Newbie in Orange County, CA

Hello all,

I am a newbie out of Orange County, CA. My day job is a software engineer but I am looking to expand my comfort zone and thereby work towards my financial independence. 

Real Estate (buildings) has always fascinated me.  If I could go back in time, I may have gone with my first choice in career - an architect.

Anyway, that's not why I am here. Just wanted to say hello and network with other like minded folks. Looking for advice, tips - any and all appreciated.

What are your thoughts on the current environment in OC? Prices seem too high. Do you think this is the right time for a newbie to get started or should I wait?

If you are in OC, where (city) are you looking for deals?

Many thanks. I am a fast learner and I am sure I can contribute and help out here soon. 

Pramod
