@Brian Bartelsmeyer To help with that it would be helpful to know what your goal is and why you are trying to aggressively grow your portfolio...is there a goal of owning a certain amount of doors?

I have a very healthy amount of capital that im ready to deploy but it’s unfortunately causing me to have analysis by paralysis with all the different options out there. 

My goal is to have 5-10 doors by end of year.

Hi Everyone! 

I am an investor (using this term loosely) in San Diego who has 1 rental property here that is cash flowing (used to live in it then moved out). 

Im interested in aggressively growing my  real estate portfolio over the next year plus but I dont believe San Diego is the area to do that (obviously). So I was hoping to play a fun game with anyone interested! My ultimate goal is to focus on cash flow over appreciation. 

Lets say someone gave you 300K to do whatever you wanted to with in real estate investing. How would you invest it and in which markets? Would you choose to buy up a bunch of SFH's or would you look at maybe 1-2 multi family units?

Looking forward to reading responses!

Ideally staying out in the east county area (santee, el cajon, lakeside)

Hi All - 

I am new to real estate investing but am looking to get started with buying a duplex that I can live in and rent the other side out.  I realize its not going to completely offset living costs but I would like to be able to subsidize my living expenses this way while having someone else help me pay off my mortgage. 

My challenge is it seems like this is nearly an impossible task in San Diego.  What is everyones experience on doing this in San Diego? 

Thanks!
