Hey Ben,I grew up in Gardena and my parents still live there. 

I grew up there and have wanted a place there for years.We are 360 miles from our vacation house and rent it out.

Census Bureau from 1APR2010 to 1JULY2018 Bend-Redmond grew by 27.3%.

My family members are General Contractors and real estate investors so I grew up around the business.

I actually wanted to buy as a rental, but this one grew legs of it's own and turned into a flip.

That was one of the best decisions I've ever made; learned a ton, networked a bunch, and grew my business.

As our portfolio grew, we decided to just incorporate the address number or street name in the LLC name to make it easier to track. 

Always grew up listening to my parents about real estate and ended up having the opportunity to purchase this house How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Here is the investment thesis I grew to adopt over timeSeven Reasons I Prefer To Invest in Multifamily ApartmentsI like this route because I have MUCH LESS legal liability as an LP investor, no landlord responsibilities, and can focus mainly on being a capital manager.

I didn’t spend a dime of my own money on it.As our portfolio grew and my management portfolio grew, it made my choice to leave my 9-5 an easy one given the growth.
