Most of my learning has been done on BP forums, BP books, BP podcast's, local REI meetups, analyzing properties and getting a job as a property manager.Goals: long term (10 year): 40 doors mostly MF 15k/mo net.medium term (3-5years): 15-20 doors SFR/MF 3k-4k/mo netshort term (1-2 years): 2 SFR 2 Mf 800-1k.mo net and to work hard on finding the right people/working out as many bugs as possible.Strategy:I will be investing out of state as I live in southern California and my money ca go further elsewhere.

I live in the Southern Metro but work in Hopkins. 

Found a great property North of the 10 freeway which helped keep the neighborhood safe compared to most areas in Southern Pomona.

But depending on your credit and situation they can be a good bridge loan for a few years until you are able to refinance with a regular bank loan that has lower payments.So I would recommend asking around and networking with other hard money and private lenders; I strongly suspect you will find one that meets your needs.If you don’t, let me know and I may be able to connect you with a few, or you could attend a local real estate meet up such as RIREIG in Rhode Island or Black Diamond REI in southern Massachusetts.

I live in southern California if that makes a difference.

How can I afford a house in Southern California?

I am in Southern California and house hacking wasn't an option for me due to my low income, so I found a market OOS.

My wife and I are newbie investors in Southern California.

I will be attending the Bigger Pockets Investor Conference in Nashville in October so I will be in Huntsville from 9/28/19 through 10/5/19 and  then off to the BP Investor Conference.I’m looking for local, reliable contacts to work with and would love to meet local investors ( lunch on me ) and getintroductions to well connected Agents, Property Managers, Appraisers, Contractors, Real Estate Attorneys and other quality Real Estate related services to build my team of professionals.I’m a Realtor in Southern California and I was stationed at Redstone Arsenal while in the Army back in the 70’s. 

Southern Title is good as well.
