Hello everyone, just started my journey to invest in rental properties but I am working full time so for now, I am just reading articles/forums, watching videos online and trying to learn as much as I can before investing. So far, I was not lucky, I am using DealCheck to see if potential properties could be the ones to invest on but the cash flow is always negative (rental or BRRRR)... I am guessing this is the most difficult part, to find the right property and break even. Also, OC is pretty expensive and I was wondering if I could invest out of state, like in Arizona for example. Bear with me while I am learning. I am looking forward to knowing more here and buy my first asset !

I am in California and my goals are to purchase out of state rentals. One of my issues is I am not sure what the neighborhoods are like at the properties I find on-line.  Does anyone have an idea how I would find out if the neighborhood is good or not?  And help or suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

I have been listening to the BP podcast and a few others for awhile now, trying to soak in all the knowledge. I have roughly $20k saved up to get started, but I'm still figuring out the best place to begin. I would like to hear your suggestions and advice!

Hello BP! My name is Jace, and I am finally taking a leap into this Real estate world. Just in the research stage and processing all this information has been overwhelming ( In a GOOD way) I already know, San Diego is not the place I want to purchase, so I'm looking into Midwest areas, close to other family members. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Have a great week!
