I'm glad my Dr. doesn't hate his job and build a real estate empire to "quit" being a Dr. 

You are in the right place to gain the knowledge to build an empire.

Now it's time to pull the trigger to start (or expand) your empire.

It would be ridiculous in my opinion to demand one on a property that I didn't bring to the buyer.That being said, I am doing my own form of off market farming, but more of a targeted-area traditional MLS listing AND/OR potential off-market deal, depending on condition as I am completely mentally exhausted and done with my service business that currently pays my bills (and wastes my time :) ) and have a burning desire to replace its income with RE commission ASAP so I can roll up my sleeves and start building a RE empire full time. 

Hey @Cedric Alexander, welcome to investing in the inland empire!

New here on the forums and just getting started educating myself on how I'm going to build my own real estate empire.

But I definitely wanted to really introduce myself to maybe meet some others who have battled addiction and tackled real estate, or possibly others who are trying to build their empire after an unforeseen accident of any kind.

That way you can renovate the property the way you want, update it if you need to with a roof or HVAC etc... and then get better rents for it when you move on to the next property as your empire grows.if you need a referral for a good 203K lender, let me know. 

After reading "Build a Rental Property Empire" by Mark Ferguson and "The Book on Managing Rental Properties" by Brandon Turner last week, I am throughly excited to find ways to continue to grow and learn this industry in hopes of  property reaching my goal of financial freedom with passive income. 

We have prostitutes to thank for democracy and the rule of law.Yes, the reality of this battle and the man are far, far different from the completely ahistorical portrait of Themistocles sketched out in the film "300: Rise of an Empire."
