I will admit that I had many sleepless nights but once all completed and rented out, I felt like I just built the Roman Empire (don't laugh LOL).

Do you have hopes to expand your empire any time soon?

Now that you have exhausted your Low Down Payment Options (Portfolio-Conventional and FHA) you will need to use a Standard Conventional Loan and put 20% down to get your 3rd Duplex.The sky is the limit...you could continue to buy properties and build an empire or just stop there and enjoy more free time...I have friend who quit his job and just manages his properties now.Be alert, if you time it right you might be able to get down payment assistance/grants (I got $5,000 from a local program and used it to buy my interest rate down to 3.125% which is way below typical market rates for a Duplex).

looking for multi family homes as well as land. Low or no money investing. Would love to learn and ready to get started. 

^^^I'm a mf broker here in the Inland Empire, which obviously isn't LA proper, but I have clients who purchase throughout the Greater LA metro area.

Congrats on expanding your empire.

Hi there Inland Empire investors.
