@Dawn YoungAlthough I live within 10 minutes of our facility, I’m still transitioning into using combination disc locks and online rent payments.

I am seeking to transition into the Real Estate Investing industry. 

This way your equity even is giving you a return.Once your portfolio reaches critical mass, or you hit your target numbers or cash flow you can transition over to paying down debt to prepare for the final distribution phase.However, people need to retire, or go full time, at some point this is called your distribution phase, so when that time comes be sure the properties are paid off by that time to maximize cash flow in retirement.A great book on this topic and more is Gary Keller's The Millionaire Real Estate Investor.

San Francisco just isn’t going to be where I raise a family.A career transition was inevitable.

Eddy from Lutz Fl,new to BP.Looking to investing in real estate ,buy and hold mindset,positive cash flow and looking for a great deal of participation in the BP forum.Own and operate an assisted living facility 6 beds and looking 4ward to transitioning to real estate investing full time.

I took a look on your website and I saw that you eventually transition from turnkey rental to syndications which is great food for thought!

I stay away from D areas, but if I did do it, there are ones 10 miles from us (Compton, Watts) that are definitely transitioning into C or even C+ areas, with money to be made on appreciation and a bump in rent.

I recommend that you stop reading as your primary means of education after you finish these books and transition to active participation in your investing activities. 

As I'm transitioning from doing this as a hobby to making some serious money, I'm trying to make sure I do it the right way (if there is any "right" way).  

Would it be an easy transition for you (currently have flexible work?)
