Multi-Family Investor from Southern California

[Bill Manassero]

My name is Bill Manassero.  I just entered the real estate investing world last year after nearly 11 years in Haiti as a missionary and director/founder with Child Hope International.  I'm focused on cash flow primarily, to eventually be free enough to grow my business and continue to help Haiti.   I've been on BP a while but never officially did the member introduction thing -- so, here goes.  Started out in 2014 with SFRs, moved to duplexes and now to apartments, realizing that multi-families work best for my interests and talents.  I invest out-of-state in Memphis, Atlanta and Indianapolis. Looking also into Dayton, Kansas City, Phoenix and Charlotte.  Currently, have offers/LOIs on apartments ranging from 8-30 units.  Next step, is to focus on 100 plus units through syndication.  Looking to meet others from So Cal (I'm in Mission Viejo) and in my investment markets.  Thinking of starting an "Old Dawgs" network for 60 plus investor newbies who are like me -- cash flow focused and on a short-term learning curve.  I am thrilled to be involved in real estate investing and to hopefully meet others with the same interests.
