the concrete jungle - if I can make it here I can make it anywhere....

Quote from @Maximillian Lewis: Hi everyone,i'm very new in the world of real estate investing and very excited to finally start this journey.I'm studying and reading everything i need to know about the world - universe - of real estate, and just joined biggerpockets a few days ago.I have never invested nor bought a property before, but i have decided to turn my life around and i see a lot of positive thinkers and vibes on this website.I will be moving from Seattle to LA in a couple of months - 2 extremely expensive cities - and i'm giving myself at least 1 year before i start buying my first property - perhaps a multi family/house hacking.I'm looking to connect with a real estate agent in SoCal that can mentor me and guide me navigate this jungle as everything is very new to me.Thank you all in advance for your help! 

Moved a few places - went back to what I called home (Wichita) then again wanting to make changes we left our fully remodeled house we never had the pleasure of enjoying as it was under remodel when we left and moved to a complete shxt hole that is dated back to the 70s was dirty and full of bugs and with some land that was a complete overgrown jungle - we could have bought a nicer house but I wanted to keep it very affordable and lower our stress  --- the house was also 2.5 hours away from family to pursue our business purchase. 

You can buy land for $500 per acre (1 hour out in the jungle), you can get financing in country (50% down and 12% interest), off market deals are everywhere (everyone in Belize is a realtor, no license is needed and truly everyone is a realtor), Last I counted there are five ways to own property in Belize.  

My company in the USA is selling fishing packages to the Brazilian Amazon Jungle and earning commissions by trip sold.

I may buy in the upper jungle/cloud forest and then keep renting where I am currently since prices are dirt cheap.

I'm a refugee from Cambodian jungle and came to America about 30 years ago with 0 in my pocket.

I see branding Albany as a "tech" city, beyond just a bureaucratic government jungle, as the most realistic solution to this.Investing is a risk-reward game.

As a kid, running from war in the jungles of Cambodia, I never slept much eother.

Must be a ton to jungle!
