With strong rental demand near hospitals and colleges, plus California’s pro-ADU laws making approvals easier, this strategy can be a game-changer.

Since most people who are not actively seeking a sale are not motivated to sell at anything other than a top of the line price, this is going to be a numbers game of x thousands of contacts for every potentially doable deal.  

I am new to the real estate game.

The next RE play is going to be building ammo stores on the interstate and state lines between CA and NV and Oregon and WA and ID..

Howdy, I have been in the game for about 10 years now and have mid seven figures of real estate assets. 

Do you have a particular system or software that’s been a game-changer for you?

So if you had 20 of them, you're talking about a huge retirement kicker that you can build.If you're up there higher in age (i.e. 40's or 50's), then the long play doesn't make as much sense. 

I wanted to get back in the game again but don’t have much in reserves that most if not all HML require.

I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.

I don't know what the issue is/was, but I think a lot of customers want to play games and he probably did his best to keep them on the straight and narrow.
