Hi Simeon,Always good to see fellow South Africans here on BP.

I think I will mostly likely end up investing out of state, but I am enough of a newbie that I don't even yet know what I don't know.I am (of course) glad to buy lunch, pay it forward, and do whatever else creative I can think of to make it a time of immense value for folks.Thanks again,Eric Martin

Owning a house in LA is immensely costly and I think we’d rather spend our downpayment cash on something that cash flows.Tl;dr: loan officer handling our pre-approval application for a house in LA says we won’t get an investment loan until we buy our own house.

Bummer, we just had a full day training on Wholesaling that would have helped immensely. 

Some would say the market downturn is a risk as well but I don't worry immensely about that.

My GoalsMy goal in 2019 is to merge my two interests and expertise and build something that provides immense value.

When it came down to meeting face to face: me( African American ) them (white), I would get fired after the meeting or they would say they are no longer looking. 

If this does end up in court, a clear paper trail will be immensely helpful.
