I’ll more than likely be transferring to a Keller Williams office.I want to eventually get into the high end market once/if the timing is right. 

A partner of mine and I are looking to start a 6-9 lot SFR development in an up-in-coming area in Los Angeles, CA. 

I'm a developer with ground up projects in the $20m-$40m range as well as multifamily acquisitions. 

I am looking forward to eventually finding JV's that are interested in the same thing that you have established thus far. 

Dev Paul based on what multiple people have said on your post, you need to take a serious look in the mirror and ask yourself why it’s even rational to consider investing in “If it moves we tax it and if we don’t tax it yet we probably eventually will” People’s Republic of California!

It will eventually kick and then you're going to be so happy you did.

They have a maintenance guy that handles anything so our contact with the landlord is very limited.I would love to this property as my first investment property, however, I'm having trouble thinking about how I to be going about this.My initial thoughts are to just put out a feeler saying how much my wife and I love this area and that we eventually would like to hopefully buy some day and just politely ask that if they were ever thinking of it, to please keep us in mind.I'm having trouble figuring out how to communicate this message.

So we decided in lieu of selling our house we'd rent it.It was kind of a hybrid situation with the PM - we'd spent some time developing a relationship - she managed a large 200-300 unit apartment complex and was the head PM there - she was familiar with the tenant as he'd rented at her apt complex for 2-3 years with no problems. 

Eventually you will be able to kill it by yourself.

In such a short amount of time I've developed a passion for the business and love spending every chance I get to learn.
