New to the Group from South Orange County, CA

[Rose C]

I've been reading a lot on BP and decided it's time to introduce myself. My name is Rose Clime and I've been a Realtor for over 10 years in South Orange County, CA and have decided it's time to realign my real estate business and do some investing myself. I previously worked for a REIT, but it was so big, I really only learned about managing shopping centers. As I'm sure you all know, selling real estate is a different animal than investing in real estate and I've already learned a lot thanks to BP, but I have so much more to learn. I'm very interested in flipping houses, but South Orange County is saturated with investors and it's tough to find any deals in the under $500k price range. Under $100k is next to impossible. I'm also interested in multi-family (living in one unit and renting out the rest, for a start). I'd like to learn what to look for in an area out of state that is more affordable than Southern CA. I'd also like to learn how to leverage OPM. The end goal is to have a portfolio that will support me with passive income in the next 10 years. The short term goal is to figure out where to start so any advice will be appreciated. Looking forward to getting to know you and getting my feet wet.
