I built out a brand new, high tech office, in the heart of Carlsbad Village.

I started in commercial real estate but ventured into residential a few years ago when I started buying some value add opportunities that brought in stable cash flow and realized my heart was in helping people find the perfect residential property for them.

As the title would imply, I walked away from the deal and am back on the hunt.I'm not sure if I want to keep working in the same market or find a new one to give me a bit of a (mental/emotional) boost... because, I'll be honest, I'm kind of frustrated and dejected.

I'm trying to break free from the latter and got a good boost in motivation by attending Rod Khleif's boot-camp in Baltimore last weekend.

I love my job and the benefits that come with it, but in a perfect world if I could replace it with passive income to be home and spend more time with kids and family, I would in a heart beat.

I’d hate to see you put your hole heart into your first deal and make a mistake, like most of us do, and throw in the towel.

The return from rent and market appreciation gets a boost from basically fixed property tax due to prop 13 (In many areas a property doubles in value, the property tax doubles in value but not in CA).4) House hack. 

You can also post on your page and then boost the post with advertising money. 

Investing in MF and commercial is not just for financial geniuses but it is definitely not for the faint of heart.

The uninformed mind always says no ... the inexperienced heart is always cautious ..And ... in a very practical sense, I have found that "buyers" don't realize that "buying" real estate isn't like "buying" a car or a hamburger or a new coat.
