Best of luck on building your real estate empire! 

My long-term goal is to build up my own real estate empire to leave my job and spend time doing things I truly love.

I would rather invest my time and efforts in creating a quality life for me and my family , travel the world, enjoy the moment than burn myself out 7 days a week trying to build an empire of any kind.

You'll hear a lot of YouTubers claim you can build an empire in one year, but it's just not realistic.

Yeah, the areas that I look at in state because I know it and grew up there is the inland empire. 

I feel like I'm so close to listing, it would be a complete waist to sale after putting money and time into. 

One of the main things is the financing so make sure you take care of that first to avoid potentially waisting a lot of time.Now to your questions:Buy and flip: that generally won't work in Mexico.
