Around here, many old Second Empire, Georgian, and Victoria era homes which were originally constructed to hold an entire extended family - plus, at times, nannys and maids - have been carved into multi-units Triplexes are the most common ... one apartment per floor of the old house.

Hello everyone,

I am what everyone calls a newbie or virgin real estate investor. I have read a couple of books and have seen the usual infomercials and have seen many people make it big and many fail. I have...

Maybe consider the Inland Empire and Riverside County?

I live in Fort Myers and currently travel the SWFL area (Manatee County south along the coast and inland to 27) for my W2 job....

You can find 1% on Loopnet all over Cali in the inland areas still.

This is an empirical question of which I am not sure what the answer is. 

I also learned that I don't need a real estate empire, and that my full time job is great; I just want to smartly add some passive rentals to the life portfolio.5.

We have done a TON of research on ways out - Inland Private Capital, AEI, all sorts of other trusts that may work. 

The Inland Empire which is where I live seem to have more potential and that why I want to get on it now.

I am looking to expand my real estate "empire" over the next five year.
