It is my goal to build my own personal empire for myself and children.

Congrats on getting started building your empire!

I use Empire Property Management and they are very thorough.

I am currently looking for my first deal in Bakersfield/Kern County, San Bernardino County/Inland Empire CA but open to all areas!

New and existing homes are selling faster than Los Angeles or the Inland Empire, with the lowest relative supply of new homes and existing homes selling in a week.Zonda Advisory vice president Stephen Carr says its strength is due to San Diego's healthy job market with an unemployment rate of roughly 3%; constrained supply with only 60 actively selling new-home communities in the county; and the median new-home closing price being less than the median resale closing price.

One-on-One coaching DIRECTLY from the "main" guy/expert - avoid groups with "sub-coaches" (<--these are put in place because they can't handle the volume of new members)..makes you wonder if they're focused on building a coaching empire and making a ton of money from that - OR building a successful real estate portfolio & focusing on the success of their members. 3.

You can jump right into real estate thinking you are a hot genius because you have a little extended education, purchase a house, make a few thousand dollars and think you are the king of a real estate empire and you will never ever be really rich.'

Since they are the one's who'll ultimately decide how far your real estate empire goes, it's a good idea to make sure you've got someone you regularly talk to there, and knows what you're trying to accomplish.  

Start a rental empire of cheap houses.

Instead of fretting about finding a job, I am looking forward to growing my empire, and spending more time on here, reluctantlandlord and enjoying our next duty station.
