After that aja moment I created a website for leads (patapscopm.com), visited the local meetup (met the local tax sale celebrity @Ned Carey) , ordered business cards (btw vista print is awesome!)

My first job was a really crappy one outside of real estate, my second one I got very fortunate in having the chance to work as a property manager at 18 (ended up quitting that job because of the company's culture,) my third job was as a subcontractor for a developer who flipped old manufacturing buildings into apartments, and my current position is as an analyst/broker of self storage facilities for a company that's been in the business for 20+ years.

You save so much money that spending 500-1000 in another country/states isn’t much relative to the cultural experiences you get out of it.

But my experience was there are certain cultures that would never consider living in a home where a death has occurred.

A Decade of Changed Lives: Celebrating 10 Years of BiggerPockets

I went through a divorce didn't get back together but I can celebrate when someone else does.

You'll likely want to pick an area that either targets a specific niche (think Arts District for culture travelers or Financial District for business travelers) or pick the tourist/convention centers such as South Park, near Staples Center.There are a lot of hotels planned Downtown and that are coming online and under construction make sure you understand hotel rates and have a value proposition to set you apart.best of luck!

Anyway, I don't know if anyone has had this culture issue before or not...would it be too much hand holding to give him a stack of SASE's?

Hello, I'm brand new to real estate investing but have always had a desire to be apart of this magnificent culture.

@Rick Roach it’s the norm not to move out until marriage in my culture; they’d be weirded out charging their son rent.
