Kinda speaks for itself :) I just need to do a little more research on city's neighborhood since I don't have anyone there.

Speaking at a digital marketing mastermind & would love to meet up with any active local investors!

We'd like to connect with a real estate attorney here in San Diego who is also an investor, or has experience working with investors. ...For starters, I have a 23-page operating agreement for a land entitlement investment that I'd like to have someone look over to be sure it covers us as well as the company who is presenting it to us.

I was able to fund the deal using my VA entitlement (which tops out at 4 units). 

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY....Speaking from experience!!

If the place goes to auction, I'm sure it'd sell in the 150k range as is...What about speaking with lenders to get the exact figures?

Generally speaking I'm for it,  but it depends on alot of factors (like location, cost,  etc) as to whether or not it's a profitable venture. 

That speaks to the importance of due diligence and research before making an investment no matter what city it's in.

Keep plugging away and speaking with other banks until you find one who can do it.

Prices have slowly climbed up pretty high (relatively speaking) .What strategies have you guys used in such market?
