My ultimate focus is not how can I get you rich quickly but rather, wealthy over time.  

It was 20 years between the time I read Rich Dad and when I closed my first investment deal.

I will be very careful with my first investment if I were you, unless you have a rich father or uncle who is willing to finance your mistake.

Real estate investing is a marathon, not a sprint, not a get rich quick scheme.

I live at the corner of Rich Dad Poor Dad and The 4 Hour Work Week. 

“Lyons, I love seeing someone with your drive and vision diving into multifamily real estate in LA—you’re in one of the most competitive and opportunity-rich markets out there.

To give you something as a reference based on your budget (30-40% down with $1.8M), the general cap rates you will see in the Bay Area are roughly 3-5% https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1047-Rich-Ave-Mountain-View-...https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1180-Saranap-Ave-Walnut-Cree...You will find higher cap rates and more 20+ units buildings in SF, Oakland, and Richmond, but keep in mind of their stringent tenant laws. 

If there is even a slight chance that the average person (not a rich gambler) could invest as little as $50k in a syndicated real estate investment that promises a 20% return and there is the possibility that he could lose $15k, or about 30%, then I personally consider syndicated real estate investing to be a high-risk type investment.
