I'm generally pretty risky when it comes to things like this and it's never really hurt me, but with this sort of money involved I'm more hesitant to jump into something when I haven't even met this person.So, lovely BP folk, is this good idea, or terrible idea? 

Hey folks,My name is Jake Kodweis, and I'm a 29-year-old just starting my real estate investment journey. 

The folks that bought for appreciation in 2004 learning a tough lesson from 2006-2010. 

I need input from folks who are smarter and more experienced than I.Thanks,  in advance.Regards,John

I doubt that is what the town planning folks are thinking.

To start with, I want to buy some land and lease it out to folks with RVS and boats. 

@Ryland Taniguchi since you are an agent are you recommending she not listen to you  :)I think you have to quantify the question and the response.Your not an average buyer with only 25k to work with .. your in the business and obviously a developer of some repute and success.. for those with limited capital and competing against guys like you and I.. the realtor is correct its a sellers market.. the issue for these folks also buying off market is they need FHA loans and many houses need to much work to qualify.. so you really are stuck in a narrow window to buy.4 plex househacking for someone with @Angela Jossy capital is one of the best ways to enter the west coast market.. all the other things like buy a sfr or whatever those are folks that don't know the price ranges on the West coast its not that easy for someone with 25k.

According to some folks it is like comparing a dual-agency to employ same lawyer representing opposing sides in a court.This can be confusing at larger brokerage which have more agents.

Sorry folks! 

Hey BP folks,I am currently looking into starting my investment career by purchasing my first multifamily house.
