I'm just a regular guy trying to buy more homes at or below market value that I can cash flow and supplement my retirement.

I created a scale sized model to give a better visual (found that generic Jenga blocks are very close to scale shipping container dimensions).

As a investor who invested in syndications with my own money to supplement my income and now as the investment officer in a self-storage owner/operator who syndicates our projects I think I have a unique perspective of both sides of the coin.

I ended up using the generic Mass Realtor lease template which has worked out great! 

For years as a teacher, I carried a generic full-sized multitool in my work bag.

I actually have an email communications automation I built out to supplement Evolve's which I hope to have the document finished next week, I will share that with you if you want to see if you might find it useful for your property as well?   

When I think Riverside/Inland Empire I think brown hills, generic cookie cutter developments, endless freeways, strip centers full of all the same chain restaurants, no culture, car culture and baking hot summers.

Once there's a specific property in mind that HAPPENS to be a good 203k fit after having preapproved you for generic FHA financing, I'd be calling you and saying "sooooo I think we're going to want to go 203k on this one or it's not going to happen..." and then I'd call your realtor to get her on board, and then I'd call the listing agent to sell them on why we are no longer going to be closing in 30 days but too bad, so sad, get over it because you and your client are still going to get paid.

So, naturally, I'm looking to supplement my income and add to my weekly responsibilities.I'd love to get into REI but it's difficult because CA has a high barrier to entry.

It has to be an all cash transaction or financing becomes an issue - both in finding money that will lend to an IRA and then in the possible taxable events (UBIT) that still happen when you borrow money to supplement a real esate purchase.2.
