Andy. I live in Los Angeles as well. I personally dislike door knocking a lot. You're going into situations and putting yourself in situations where people are already very tense. I think that in the short term it is a a good tactic. But long term your going to need to find another way to get leads. There are better ways to get deals that don't require making everyone feel uncomfortable. Let's meet up man. I'm close by. Let's connect.

Ryan. Welcome to BP. I'm a real estate investor from LA. I would love to network with you and see if you'd be interested in investing out of state into rental properties. That is what I do full time and it's what i have focused in on to grow wealth. Get it!

Bill. This is a great question and I actually do live in Southern California. I live in Los Angeles. I have friends in LA who flips a ton of real estate here locally but then they buy out of state turn key rental properties for CF. This way they're able to grow their active income with their flips and grow their passive income with their turkey rental properties or multi family properties.

Keaton. I love the hustle and it's great that you have a family that's already in the real estate business. What I would recommend is that you have a ton of money saved up already I would recommend getting started by doing a couple of different things. First thing would be to invest $50 grand that you have and use it to either create some passive income for yourself or try to grow the capital as much as you can. A couple of ways that you can do that to also get off your parents couch is by buying rental properties. this will help you bring in some income which would allow you to move out of your parents place and rent your own place. Another option would be with house hacking. You can buy or rent out a large house and then rent out specific rooms to your friends. I am a young investor as well. 22 years old. Shoot me a message and we can connect. I love working with young minds!

Mohsin. Welcome to BP! You'll love it here. Congrats on making the jump into real estate investing. Dallas is a hot market and it going to be hard to invest in Dallas with just $45k. Have you thought about investing out of state? I live in California and only invest out of state. Reach out to me if you want to learn more about what I do and how I can help you!

Azumah. Great question. Going to follow up with more questions. Why are you looking for attorneys and title companies when you are just starting wholesaling? Of course they are pieces that you will need down the line, but you can easily find these people on google and give a bunch of them a call. Spend your time going out and finding deals!

Alfonso, welcome to the club! I'm in Los Angeles and would love to connect. Currently I invest all out of state and would advise you to do the same to achieve your goals.

Put enough money down to cash flow. You don't want to take more money out of your pocket to cover unknown expenses that may arise.
