You may support your retirement dreams and financial objectives by building a profitable and long-lasting real estate portfolio with careful preparation and commitment.Good luck!

I have 140k gross income last year, no other debts, first time home buyer.

(I don't know why I can't tag either of you... grr)  Until last week I lived in Los Angeles, and it was no trouble at all to run them from there while working my 16 hour/day day job.  

I was there last week and see the city seems to be getting aggressive tearing down some of the old houses and getting the lots cleaned up. 

Lastly, what is the obsession with real estate investors wanting to remain anomymous?

Again, if you are close to your brother, make it the best partnership that can last forever.

The property appreciate rapidly over the last few years.

This generally works and lasts a long time, but I have one unit that poses a bit of a predicament:I acquired the property a couple years ago, but the current tenants have been there for 6 years. 

I sent you an email last night by the way.

Lastly, we recently had a very large capital company do a $600M development in our downtown this year and Amazon moved into town last year.
