Hi there everyone,
I've been learning about RE investing for only 3 months now and I'm finally going out of my comfort zone to network and possible and ideally meet people near me in Whittier CA. I'm interested in buy and hold and my criteria are as follows residential multi family and I'd like to ultimately work my way up to commercial multifamily 16+ units probably out of state in the sunbelt Florida market. I work a w2 job and plan on using that to start with some FHA agency loans etc. But first and foremost I'm here learning all I can before I take that step my timeline is 1 1/2 yrs of education and networking. So that's pretty much it! Thanks everyone
