Military Couple from San Diego

[Jake Thompson]

Hello everyone, my name is Jake and my wife's name is Lindsey. This is the second intro post I have done here, the first one I left shortly after on deployment, plus our goals have changed, so I decided to just write a new post. Currently my wife and I need to assemble our real estate team. After that we are looking to purchase a 20 unit apartment complex in San Diego, CA. Eventually we would like to get into 100+ unit complexes, but we feel this may be a good starting point for us. We are still trying to get a good insight into the different markets available in San Diego (There's quite a few) as well as determine who we will be using for our real estate team. Specifically we are looking for an attorney, accountant, broker, and property manager, with experience investing in apartment complexes. My wife and I are very excited about doing our first deal, we know it will be the toughest, however, we know it will be worth it, as this will allow us to be financially stable by the time we leave the military (Less than 3 years!) If anyone has any suggestions on a good team member in San Diego, please let us know! Thank you!

@Jake Thompson Firstly, thank you for your service sir. Too few men hear the call, and fewer answer.

Second, I would like to introduce myself, and more importantly my dad, who is not on BP (yet), but is a 20 year Marine Corps Vet, and currently a Broker and Property Manager here in the San Diego area.  As a Realtor, I hang my license with his brokerage, Corps d'Elite Real Estate Group, and I would love to talk further about the opportunity to work with you and Lindsey, so please feel free to message me and we can set something up. 

Also, I have a Real Estate friendly accountant whose clientele is made up of roughly 70% real estate oriented folks (and the majority of which are investors), and who invests himself.  I highly recommend him, so again, please feel free to message me if any of what I have mentioned interests you, and I will be happy to give you any details you need to make an educated decision in building your team, regardless of whether or not we end up working together.  Hope this is helpful, and I look forward to hearing from you!
