New from Los Angeles

[Trevor Fulkerson]

Hi there,
I am a new investor currently living in Los Angeles county. I am 24 years old with a college degree, and I have been researching and reading about real estate investing for a few years now. I have tried a couple different ways to get into it, but have not had much success yet. Recently I have been enjoying reading the posts here on BP, and I've been learning a ton.
I am interested in buy and hold, with SFH and/or smaller multi-family properties, with rental or lease option as an exit strategy. There are a lot of different strategies that I've learned about, but these are the ones that have caught my eye the most.
As the title says, I am currently in LA, but I am at a point in my life where I can pretty much go anywhere and do anything. I am finishing up my current job in a few months, so I am figuring out the best way to pursue my real estate investing goals from here. I would love to learn from a successful investor, wherever that might be. I really just want to jump in and learn about turning the possibilities into reality.
Anyway, that's a bit about me. I would love any advice/wisdom that anyone would like to share specific to my situation, and I will continue to browse the information here on BP and keep learning and connecting.
Thanks!
-Trevor
