Also remember, depending on your threshold, the further from LA you get, the farther your money will go, but also your commute.To start your education, I would recommend Long Distance Real Estate Investing, by David Greene - it's not the most concisely written book, but it would certainly give you a look into what it takes to be successful at it.As for me - Since I moved to LA a year ago, I have realized that the cash flow game isn't one that I feel I can do successfully and I'll continue to buy MF's back in MA in a market I know better.Good luck and feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

By the end of 2019 I am expecting the numbers to be 5.1Mil / 3.2Mil.i will continue secure more assets for 4 years then I will stop and pay down the loans, my end game is to secure a large 30-40Mil apartment unit complex.

The game has changed.

The issue is I'm self employed and everything is written off, my credit ranges from 750-790 depending on the credit card miles game.

@Blair Colsey it just part of the game.
