Hello BP!!!! Im looking into starting a career in real estate. Does any brokers or agents need an assistant? I'm a fast learner and I can help with updating MLS, Zillow, Door knocking, Farming basically anything. All...

real estate empire later this week so I won't get to FIBI, but I may get to CiA.

I primarily do real estate deals in Orange County, Los Angeles, Inland Empire since I am the most experience in these area(s).

How would you build an empire starting from nothing? 

CapEx items have a 1/3 to 1/10 life expectancy compared to LT or most ST rentals further inland.
