@Nate WightmanWe call them "Over/Unders" here, many of them old Second Empire and Victorian houses converted into duplexes - or triplexes with on unit per floor - back in the 1920s - 1940s.As far as building new, around here it's not really cost effective at this time ...

Funniest thing I heard on a podcast lately was how rancho is the bell aire of the inland empire, but it is true.

Empirical evidence of information?

I’ll plan on keeping my terms and give them a deadline so I don’t keep waisting everyone’s time.

Did the successful person build an empire with a million in  yearly revenue?

Chris,It's a long story :)But here's part 1: I lost everything back in 2002-2003https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/55/topics/690349-from-bankruptcy-to-1-000-units-part-1-thru-the-dark-tunnelFrom there, is a link to Part 2: how I came back and Part 3: how I built my real estate empire

You do your thing, build your rental empire one inexorable step after another, don't let anyone take it away from you.If Wesley's quick explanation of how to build porch stairs for peanuts out of pressure-treated lumber seems a bit abbreviated, I think there's an episode of Ask This Old House that lays out the exact toe-clearance cut technique he mentions, very well done.

I bet that 20 years from now, after you’ve built your real estate empire, using all of the knowledge that you learned on BiggerPockets, and Rich dad Poor dad, that you too will be lending people money, and charging interest over a 30 year amortization.

@David Friedman no doubt as time passes by more and more people from LA are moving to inland Empire so its up and coming however everything even here is very pricy and still impossible to get the 1% rule!

Thanks for sharing and keep building your empire.
