Hi Bigger Pockets world, I'm not sure if anyone will read this however, here goes.I have been following the BP podcasts and have listened to 17 episodes and so I joined the site.My market is Southern California.I am a full time Real Estate agent having closed a few deals, while starting late last year.Here is what I have planned to do or our options that we have:My fiancé was approved for at least $550k, as she is a pharmacist so her W2 is very useful for us to get started.We do not want to purchase a home for us to live as we can still live with our parents (lucky and not so lucky).

This property is in Southern California.  

I live in Southern California where everything is a bit pricey, but I could potentially get into two 8-10 unit buildings with the funds I have available.
