All set to jump my start career as a investor to do fix/flip and buy apartment units  ,any suggestions how to move forward.

Hello All,I'm considering buying a small home on a small lot in LA.

Quote from @Chris Brewer: They’re actually asking more for the property that’s just the number I think I can buy it for.

@John Lasheri agree with you, you'd be surprised at how many people listen to Grant Cardone though, and decide that they're going to go buy a 100 unit with 'OPM' as their first deal and quit their job.i think buying something of that size with a few partners is a perfectly good goal. 

What is your current BUY formula for properties in this market?

Dial in your buy box, then be swift/actionable when ready.
