I focus mainly on buying deals and working with partners for said deals. 

The main problem with negative cashflow properties is this. 

You are afraid of rent control, but if you add an ADU and it is detached, the main house (if built prior to 1978) may eventually become subject to LA Rent Control. 3.

At this stage, the main thing we need is for me to get back into the workforce and get some money coming in, in order to achieve that dream.With that in mind, my immediate goal is to gain employment in the field of property management, as opposed to wasting my time working in another field that is not associated with real estate.

I will still sign up for it as it seems to be one of the main sites dedicated to traveling professionals.

Main thing to watch out is DSCR Ratio.

1-The goal wouldn't necessarily be to eventually to rent it out, main goal is to build equity and create value.

Try calling the PM from a different phone number and also try the number on rental listings (if it is different from their main number).

Is it better to have a job or business that is doing well, then funnel the money into larger projects, if my desire is to be one of the main GP for like 33-100 unit multifamily projects?

You can learn these things over time.Take note, Due on sale clause isn't even one of the main concerns.
