I'm from Leesburg, an active-duty Air Force member, too (retiring soon).

If you’re active in California real estate or looking to break into the market, you’ve probably heard about Senate Bill 9 (SB 9).

We have 3 boys who are actively in sports and the location of the house just doesn't work out for us. 

Hi Everyone,
I’m new to the BiggerPockets community and excited to connect with all of you! A little about me: I’m a new real estate investor diving into the world of property management and eager to learn as much as...

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

While I’ve completed six transactions, I now primarily use my license for referrals rather than active practice.

They most certainly should seek legal opinions and consult with government agencies. 

What I can share is that the risk-reward will not be worth it as a 'newbie' due to your limited capital and inability to actively manage your properties. 

If this current realtor isn't getting it done for you, I have a broker/PM that fits that description that I can connect you with if you'd like.There are also very active investor groups on Facebook if you want to try the FSBO route.
