I've found that the more you share, the more you can grow your network and connect with like-minded people.

For most people, they would be better off investing in a syndication or even a REIT. 

The best way to learn about how to really invest in real estate is to read books, listen to good podcasts, and pair that with going to in-person meetups so you can see people just like you, married with 3 kids, who are making it work for them.

Hi Devin, Have you ever considered that instead of America needing smaller homes that are more affordable, that America needs more higher paying jobs so that people can live the actual American dream versus having to settle for less and less and less (Has George Carlin pointed out in his classic speech about this). 

Or even just use the FB group where people bring deals for a finders fee, you evaluate and then pay a % to a TC to help close the deal.

More than anything, real estate is a people business.

The lot works and ok with living in one unit, just trying to find people that have executed them in Los Angeles City.

Yes, you need a team, however you can't just assemble people together and call it a team. 

This allows you to test all the systems and the people involved.
