If you are into investing in land, I'll be glad to refer leads to you and we can work something out.  

@Erik Sherburne It's my opinion that investing in land is not the best way to reach your goal. 

Think of it this way, suppose you started out and you build a small RE Empire which winds up being worth a $1 Million.Then, for no fault of your own, you got into a Car Accident and are no longer able to go through towards your Goal of $100 Million.Life happened, but you did your VERY BEST.

Pete Nubig with Empire would be a good one to call

Juan Ayala I'm based in inland empire looking to connect with other investors message me and we can exchange numbers

I believe his podcast will really focus on rental properties, as this is what his empire has consisted of to date.

Aloha,It can be a tough way to start, but if you are very knowledgeable, construction-wise;  able to be very "hands on"; and have the stones for it, I've seen several investors in the midwest build a huge empire on low quality properties and all that they attract.

I'm also studying and learning about how to start building my tiny empire and achieve financial freedom.

I am currently holding three investment properties in inland area.

Their HOA fee is very high and considering the age of the building (fun fact, Board Walk Empire Series HBO, the main character Nucky Thompson actually lived there)  there always seem to be increases for added repairs.
