Building on existing land helps eliminate the issue of land scarcity, which is a significant challenge due to California’s high real estate prices.

Why have you decided on multifamily versus other real estate strategies?

Quote from @Melissa Vass Scott: Hey everyone, would value your opinions as we are working towards building a real estate portfolio in the US. 

MLS - I waived my buyer agent commission.

I work with Property Management in Houston but can recommend some great networking/educational events for you :) Check out Space City REI - there's monthly meetups with an educational speaker relating to real estate investing and there are plenty of Investors looking for Wholesalers out there! 

- Agents and title companies I work with always expect EM to be delivered within 24 hrs of opening escrow.

Concerned, I asked my real estate agent if I should push for a price reduction.

Step 2: Narrow down your "buy box" (are you market-indifferent, are you looking for a certain level of cash flow, etc.).Step 3: Connect with real estate agents and begin making offers!

I am thinking about doing this full time and was wondering if there was a coach/professional i could speak with to give me an honest assessment on my current real estate portfolio?

I'm still new to real estate investing but I'm open to feedback  @Jade FrankIt really depends on your long-term goals.
