@Dustin Ruhl Love the strategic thinking!. 

I am looking to network with a property management company or investor/landlord who can school me on a few questions i have about potential rents, strategic upgrades/remodeling.

I break down how the seminars work and give my very justified opinion on why they're a joke.While I'm not someone who tells someone what they should charge, the amount of people they strategically sell into crazy amounts of debt to "get started in real estate" is scary (they being the companies hosting these seminars) and IMO crazy unethical.Let's be real - influencing/selling people into buying an expensive course to get started in real estate investing using all of their tricks - no money down, no credit needed, putting the seminar expense on a credit card crosses an ethical & moral line with me. 

I would definitely get solar don’t know how anyone uses t strategically.

We're in City limits and have a great relationship with the building dept so they've been able to help us strategize about what needs to be done to be fully compliant and hopefully avoid issues you've run into like surprises about your sprinkler system and building height.

SunCal foreclosed on the development and it sits west of town, with the golf course and the clubhouse sitting empty, no homes.Bakersfield is still heavily oil and gas driven locally, but we have a large secondary industry now, which is warehousing and distribution, due to our strategically close location to LA, but much cheaper land. 

Trucked in about 100 tons of boulders and strategically placed.Waiting on Subdivision approval. 

"Strategic default" is when you walk away from your obligations on a house that you have little or no equity in.

If I were you, I would move to Florida, develop your pipelines in the local market to generate quality off-market deals, and sell strategically out-of-state at lowish prices to 1031 locally.
