I've seen Brian, Brandon H, Dawn, James and other esteemed contributors share their milestones, so thought I'd do the same.I doubt I have impacted nearly as many as above mentioned, but I sincerely enjoy my time here and hope I have helped and inspired more than ired, lol.I feel I have grown to know many of you personally and I appreciate you!

I think you get the gist of most our opinions.If you had 25 LTRs and was thinking of testing the waters, I think that would be an acceptable risk seeing as you had a lot of experience and cash reserves.As a first investment, I personally see that as a way to lose everything you put into it and more if laws change.I don’t think California is considered to be a landlord friendly state so be prepared to have the rug yanked out from underneath you.

As someone who has been investing with turnkey companies and other REI for years, I have grown quite fond of the ease of one particular company's model for buying into portfolios of 10 SFR that I co-own with the managers.  

Throughout my experience as a landlord I have grown more hard hearted to this, but I will still work with a good tenant to keep them.

(She still lives there and sells real estate)  Our son Michael has grown up in the business. 

OUr company has grown across the southern belt and I have never purchased north of St.

By the time they leave, all the grass has grown back and ready for a new tenant.I live in California and water is expensive here so I prefer tenants pay me rent then water the lawn if they can't afford it.

But they've grown their scale so that the properties they are exchanging they've all owned more than a year.  

These markets which have thrived for hundreds of years are ignored by traditional investors and institutions that want to buy in LA & Miami but ignore that rental prices are at all time highs while income has not grown to match it which creates an unprecedented risk. 

Unfortunately, the outfit that I am vetting that is offering a blind fund didn't even MENTION their property management plan in their property summary, so that option is probably going into the dustbin...The workforce and affordable housing concept has really grown on me.
