I don't want to reinvent the wheel here, and was hoping to stand on the shoulders of giants (smile).Do you have something that has worked for you in the past?

@Dick Rosen  Thanks, I actually met a fairly new realtor today.

@Jayde Dick - Have you checked eventbrite, facebook or meetup? 

If you systematize your business I believe you can step away from the daily management, just like these giant companies have done (Sonder).

https://lareic.com/   tonight 6:30-9:30pm  3376 Motor Ave     Los Angeles, CA 90034#5  Plenty of discussion on here about different multi family networking/eco system groups.....go to one of their conferences....2-3 days of non-stop education and networking.....and I think you can figure out if that plan is for you I think starting with small personal deals and going thru all the pains, trails and tribulations and potentially successes give you excellent training for larger deals....but there are people who skip all that and go straight to big or giant deals......how good are you at underwriting, how good are you at vetting tenants, how good are you at PM, how good are you at renovations.....how good are you at raising money for other ventures....how are your presentation skills for convincing high net worth people to work with you....how much money do you have to get started....how good are you at finding, hiring, managing contractors.....how good are you at managing thru tough times.....like right now where lots of syndicators have their backs to the wall, cutting off distributions, going back to investors for cash calls, renegotiating loan deals....Last 5+ years everyone looks like a freaking hero....generating 30-60-100% returns. 

@Natanya VidalesJust be careful when choosing to purchase in 29 Palms. 29 Palms is affected by the winds more than JT and YV are and if your agent doesn’t know what’s up, you’ll end up buying in a giant dust bowl.

Police presence is heavier and there is a proposal to open a new police station right on Frankford ave. https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2020/10/12/proposed-new-police-district-in-kensington-a-very-giant-leap-to-cut-down-on-crime-drugs/I plan on doing some of the work in house.

I have been a longtime lurker of BP (since 2011) and have seen very active people not post anymore for various reasons.Some of the big real estate players are in masterminds with other real estate giants.

I keep asking myself even if I wanted to sell, what the heck would I do with a giant pile of money that begins losing value to inflation before I walk out of the closing. 

Depending on the area you are in, this might result in your report being placed in a giant pile labeled ignore that is turned over to the DA's office, or it might actually be investigated and charges filed.
