Introduction and first question

[Matt Ilharreguy]

Hey Community,

I'm am a completely green newbie! Most of what I've learned has come from BP Podcast and an experienced investor here in the So Cal area. He's been nice enough to answer questions and offer some insight when he has time. I'm currently working on finding my first investment property here in California. 

I'm trying to convince my wife we are in a position to invest and there's no need to wait given the current market. Any suggestion?
