My goal is to learn about multifamily properties in my area (LA/Orange County), find and work with a mentor, and invest in properties with 2-15 units. 

Is your property in Orange county Florida or is it in Osceola Lake Polk or Seminole county?

I am fine with many areas in Newark, East Orange, and Orange, but you have to know the blocks very well.

Question is there to buy or sell: My long terms goals are to accumulate 5 -7 SFRs in the southern Orange County, CA area so that i can retire from my portfolio of SFRs.

Use texting to reach out to low-hanging fruit.

It may also be fruitful to continue to save and then reap the benefits of the next recession.  

I am getting ready to list my first rental in Orange Park, FL in the Oakleaf area.

They bought the deal in Orange County, I partnered with them because I had the deal and we figured out our own splits..

I would not spend this much energy on a NNN item after you've done the low hanging fruit.

My dream property is a property I own in Costa Rica, which is a 2 bed/1 bath on 13,000 square feet of land within 60 seconds walk to a surfing beach, in a small beach town of 500 people, located 25 minutes drive from a larger beach down.I plan on building a surf shed to house surf boards, a large swimming pool, a bbq area, fruit trees throughout the property, install a streem with a small waterfall and fish, then tear down the existing house a couple years down the road and put in a 5 bed/6 bath house, use it for myself every 90 days, going there with family and friends, the rest of the time rent it out short term rental.
