Also, starting my journey in real state investment made change my mindset and since last year I have been more disciplined on my finances and I have been taking better decision on how I spend my money. 

This is after all construction in Los Angeles, if you've never done it before add 50k.If you have $500,000 in cash I suggest you use it elsewhere, this years long headache is likely not worth the 1000's of man hours you will also have to put into it running your very own team of scientists.

I have found enough business and made enough money not to need to expand outside of this market.Section 8 is a whole different ball game but I find the program is unique in that it's a 3-party relationship adding the variable of a government agency.

I've flipped 6-8 houses, made good profit on those, and just purchased my first 4-unit multi for mainly cost seg purposes/long-term appreciation. 

Take it all for what it’s worth, I’ve learned plenty of lessons and made my share of mistakes.
