@Jeanette LandFrom my experience working with over 400 investors, growing your portfolio with limited capital is absolutely achievable with the right strategies.

I’d love to hear about your goals and what you’re hoping to achieve here.

I have no doubt you’ll continue to achieve great success in your investment journey.

California has the highest rate of investor homes in the nation because of the returns that can be achieved.  

This is really an object of my hindrance to achieving my end.

@Rene Hosman Generally, Reasons for Land Swaps are to: - Resolving zoning conflicts - Acquiring strategically important properties - Consolidating land holdings - Avoiding costly legal battles - Achieving public policy goalsWhen I was a Planning Commissioner projects would discuss land swaps for larger development projects to make sure the community impact was greater (typically gaining conservation land for us) than just allowing a rezone to be approved without public benefit.

Yeah my goal is around 30% but its hard to achieve, especially using a hard money loan.

There are more passive ways to invest in real estate than "turn-key" real estate and achieve those types of returns, but you will need vet the operators and get educated before jumping in.

I recommend a few things:  define what you want to achieve and why investing in the US is the vehicle to achieving that ROI. 

As you delve deeper into the world of real estate, staying informed and adaptable will be key to achieving your financial goals.
