I currently live in Southern California and is looking to learn and invest in local Southern California market preferably in the Inland Empire and also out of state as most of the rental properties here are over $100k.

Repeat until you are happy with your empire.

Real Estate investing is what we're doing now, on a small scale, and we will continue to save and build on the one property and hopefully amass a little empire in the coming years. 

I have no experience in REI however, I have been reading/listening to podcasts for the past few months and would like to get started.I am located in Inland Empire of Southern California and this would be my first property.I have looked into house hacking using the FHA 3.5% down, however running numbers found that with just about every property I will still have to pay additional for mortgage - and not really have a house of my own with my own back yard etc.I am now considering purchasing a SFH using FHA 3.5% down with a big enough land/back yard to build 2-3 manufactured / SFH as rental properties.

Having a single income doesn't make it easier but we hope to continue investing in real estate to build our little empire of cash flow so I can leave my job.

Really looking forward to growing my "empire" of cash flow assets while in the military.
