I'm just so amped about growing our real estate empire. 

Hi James,In my opinion, CASH is king and the cost of money is very cheap (assume you can get a lower rate then what was done in 2008) so refi the property under one note - cash out- and put it into another place to build your empire. my two cents but I'm sure their are more details that I am not aware of.

Ive done over $900k in land contracts in the last 3 years for a total of around $20-22k out of pocket.

Other types of investment (in land in private developments, or in a house in a place like PlayaCar) where the ticket price on the house is upwards of $500,000, financing through a mortgage broker like Mexlend or several others wouldn't be a problem. 

As frequently as we all talk about 6-8% vacancy rates in our Buy and Hold calculations, I'd be amazed if Alpha's was 4% across their entire empire.

Any rehabbers or wholesalers or real estate agent know any asbestos contractor in the Los Angles, Inland Empire, or Orange County?

I'll plug for Inland Capital. www.inlandcap.comThey've been very helpful with double checking my own numbers and steering me from bad deals.

Although I don't have much now, I plan to build a very big empire and have always known success would be part of my future.
