BTW I buy SFRs.If you want to take your investing game to the next level. 

Also remember, depending on your threshold, the further from LA you get, the farther your money will go, but also your commute.To start your education, I would recommend Long Distance Real Estate Investing, by David Greene - it's not the most concisely written book, but it would certainly give you a look into what it takes to be successful at it.As for me - Since I moved to LA a year ago, I have realized that the cash flow game isn't one that I feel I can do successfully and I'll continue to buy MF's back in MA in a market I know better.Good luck and feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

By the end of 2019 I am expecting the numbers to be 5.1Mil / 3.2Mil.i will continue secure more assets for 4 years then I will stop and pay down the loans, my end game is to secure a large 30-40Mil apartment unit complex.

The game has changed.

How often do people start off their real estate carriers with no skin in the game.

Definitely impressive getting started in the game this early!

The issue is I'm self employed and everything is written off, my credit ranges from 750-790 depending on the credit card miles game.

This is all based on my research and what I think would be most viable to me as of now, I would even love to meet REI's and potential partners for the near future (wholesaling or not I plan on being financially free no matter my path and acquiring properties) I have graphic design and video editing experience, would love to trade work to any REI's in the Asheville area in exchange for knowledge and help.

Now, the whole property management game, yeah that's a different story.

@Blair Colsey it just part of the game.
