Rick H.There is a nationally renown {retired} architect in the City whose specialty is restoration and preservation of Second Empire and Victorian buildings.

I have recently moved from New York to Southern California for work and will be looking to purchase my first property in the coming months, probably somewhere in the Inland Empire since I can't afford anything in Orange County, but I would like to stay in California.

When we were saving up to 'build our RE empire'  lol I lived in an '82 doublewide for a few years.

This site is awesome because it allows you to pick the brains of some very successful investors, who like us, started with nothing and grew their empire.

This will vary person to person but there are many people who haven't even "stressed tested" their real estate portfolios to even account for a depreciating market.This is also one area where the much maligned Cleveland cash flow crowd is in a better position than the "real wealth" San Fran equity out crowd:  the cash flow folks can likely cover their margin with the rental generated cash flow, if you've equity stripped your San Fran assets to expand your empire you really have no recourse if the APV goes down and you are overextended relative to your cash reserves.

Louis, MO, who would do commercial loans for residential housing (25% down, 4.5%, 20 year fixed), but they have been bought by a bigger bank that does not do those kinds of loans anymore for out of state investors such as myself.So, to continue my real estate empire, it looks like I'll be forced to use a different lender.
