I can give you a Quit Claim deed to the Empire State Building but if I have no ownership you aren't getting anything.

I won't be in a position to even refinance my current home until sometime next year, and then I can begin the process of building the rental empire one brick at a time. 

Perhaps it’s a different club but try the inland empire real estate investment club.

@Antoine Martel yes I'm looking to fix and flip near Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley, Beaumont, Banning, Cherry Valley, Oak Glen, Redlands, San Bernardino..........anywhere in the Inland Empire really.

Greetings folks.Big time newbie here from the Inland Empire area.

In this way, your 20K can go a long ways towards building a massive rental empire. 

Best solution would be buy something, rent out what you have and start building your empire.:)Stephanie

I also have a small % of my net worth in crypto and other speculative stuff.I have this vision of owning an empire of housing spanning the nation...I don’t get that feeling with syndication but I know this is an irrational wish.

Pay them 8-10% and increase your cashflow while building your empire.
