New Rental Property Investor
Hello fellow investors!
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Vince. I am currently living in Los Angeles, CA. I am a new real estate investor and in the process of educating myself more while saving some capital to fund my first deal. I am mostly interested in rental property investing and planning to househack my first property in Irvine, CA. My goal is to become a billionaire and own more than 100 units of rental property consisting of small-multifamily and apartment complexes. I want to start first by investing in small-multifamily and eventually trade up to a 24 or more apartment unit complex while taking advantage of the 1031 exchange. (Thanks Brandon on this great idea) Since the market in California is expensive, I'm also considering investing out of state to generate more cash flow.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao-Tzu
I have taken my single step by reading books about real estate investing, and rental property investing. I am hoping to meet great people and form meaningful friendships in my thousand miles journey!

@Vince Espiritu one step at a time. I would suggest meeting with someone who is actually doing what you want and picking their brain. It's a long way from nothing to a billionaire.
Good Investing...
