I wanted to introduce myself and connect with both investors and fellow real estate professionals, especially those in the San Diego area.I’d love to hear any tips, insights, or advice you have as I navigate this journey.

You can try to attend virtual events, many real estate meetups and events offer virtual options.

My LLCs are for Real Estate so I still have use for them even without doing gator.

Right now, I am an aspiring real estate agent specializing in investment properties while also in the process of developing an app!

I am trying to tabulate Business that may have higher depreciation but yet help me build wealth in form of real estate or potential customers for variety of services. 

That is part of the problem with a lot of companies (I am not knocking insula as dont have all the info/facts just stating how the business works), they engage brokers to get them loans and the brokers collect a small fee. unfortunately many of the brokers may be similar to real estate wholesalers - have little to no experience. 

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self-storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

I'm currently moving into the commercial world of real estate.

Everyone in real estate will be incentivized to upcharge your friend along the process hurting profitiability. 

So if you discount a small amount to get rolling, that is something that can work, but don't want to stay low for long.You will start to get the dregs staying at your place and they can do some real damage to the place.
