I need someone in Los Angeles who is very experienced in the area to scope out the land for me.

I personally have never seen that, but I’m only one person.

I have 3 properties in my personal name (to get best rates).

Make sure you have personally spoken with the tenant, maybe since you are new owner they don't know where or who to pay or paid the previous owner. 

This trend suggests a robust and appreciating market, making Katy, Texas an attractive city for short-term and long-term investment.High Demand for Rentals: Katy is experiencing inbound migration from major cities like Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, indicating a high demand for rental properties.

We are transitioning into the US Market particularly Texas and looking to partner with an experienced developer.

Any 'investment' can act as a 'retirement'.Roth is great because it is tax freeI personally like real estate also becuase your cash flow is normally shielded by depreciation.I like real estate further because there is less complixities / restrictions when it comes to IRA such as the 5 year rule, year you have to take distributions, RMD, Unrelated Business Income Tax(UBIT).Your goal is to have the best return and the most money at the time of retirement, what is the best way to get there?

Don’t waste your time with the large banks, you’ll never get to the right person unless you operate a hedge fund and are going to buy hundreds at a time.I found small local banks work the best.

I have acquired my experience from working on my personal live-in-flips and building ADUs, as an owner builder and self-performing most of the work.

Is it because you have personal relationships with them?
