Use your savings to buy another place (probably will be out of CA) a year later and grow your empire there.It will take time, but it will be worth it.Josh

Hi BP community,I recently closed on my first investment property in Southern California Inland Empire in the City of San Bernardino.

The property I had was ag, with residential use which is common.Residential  appraisals begin disallowing more than 20% in land value to arrive at a market value, secondary market isn't in the ag business or commercial arena.

Hi @timothy drake@Timothy Drake I would suggest just starting under your own name and then using more advance strategies as your empire grows.

It may take some time, but eventually you will accumulate your real estate empire.

@Lawrence Garcia I'm in Irvine/Orange County and I wholesale in the Inland Empire, where you live. 

Or is there only value in land that can be developed? 

For us, my husband serving his country have done amazing things to our "empire".
