Open a high-yield savings account (currently paying a 2% rate of interest) and set aside an amount (even if it's only a token amount) of money into your "Real Estate Empire" account.

If you decide to do buy and hold, remember that OPM is the key to building an empire.

I'm seeking more of an empirical answer versus a guess.

I'm from the area and I've been slowly trying to build my buy and hold empire using conventional lending. 

@Caleb Heimsoth good point, I see the value in doing it on occasion or like you said if it's a property you don't want to hang onto but the people who think they will grow an empire without huge marketing budgets seem to be spinning their wheels while wasting money.I love how @Jay Hinrichs almost always tells them to get a real estate license and be a realtor.

I reached out to Empire West Title Agency that sold us our policy and they responded that "Per my Title Department, The title of policy that you received at Close of Escrow, Homeowners Alta Policy, doesn’t allow for Endorsements when deeding into LLC’s".Does this sound right?

I'm a new PRO member real estate investor looking to connect with others in the Inland Empire/Riverside/San Bernadino  areas of California as we learn so much from this forum. 

To make a long story short, I concluded my preferred strategy was to buy and hold long term and pursue the development of a rental empire.
