I’ve realized that my lack of networking is a hinderance to achieving my goals.

I don’t know what kind of income you are trying to achieve but cash flowing in San Diego, let alone California to replace working it’s probably out of the question.

@Mike Cumbie Yeah definitely tell the agent up front exactly what your goals are and what you are trying to achieve.

Also you'll want to spend at least a few months getting used to the particular market you are thinking about investing in so you can start to become an expert on the different areas and price points that are achievable.

Going at this alone will be a long hard road, get help from other investors, family and friends.Build a plan based on what you want to accomplish in 5 years and work backwards on how you will achieve those goals so you know what actionable items you need to work on week by week.I think by far the best route for beginners to get into investing is the BRRR method. 

And goal achieved!

Hey @Peter Roehrich, let me be first in line to congratulate you on taking action to achieve your dreams!

However, I would determine what exactly your goals are for the next 1, 3 and 5 years financially and how you can achieve those goals through real estate.

In order to achieve that I have to ask the New PM to connect their appfolio software to our account vs opening up a new account (which we won't have direct access to).

In order to achieve no. 1.
