I'm already in Los Angeles, San Diego, OC, Fresno, San Jose, Phoenix, Las Vegas  which I mainly picked because they're in California or close to it.  

My name is Martin, I was born in Manila, Philippines - raised in Los Angeles.

Quote from @Travis Lackie: your options would be to get out of houston. was looking at crime rates and houston has the most murders by far Thanks for your opinion but crime happens everywhere I’m originally from Los Angeles and I feel like it’s way worse out there. 

My name is Sylvie and I work on the business development side of a Property Management company here in Los Angeles that specializes in apartment buildings, 2 units and up.

https://lareic.com/   tonight 6:30-9:30pm  3376 Motor Ave     Los Angeles, CA 90034#5  Plenty of discussion on here about different multi family networking/eco system groups.....go to one of their conferences....2-3 days of non-stop education and networking.....and I think you can figure out if that plan is for you I think starting with small personal deals and going thru all the pains, trails and tribulations and potentially successes give you excellent training for larger deals....but there are people who skip all that and go straight to big or giant deals......how good are you at underwriting, how good are you at vetting tenants, how good are you at PM, how good are you at renovations.....how good are you at raising money for other ventures....how are your presentation skills for convincing high net worth people to work with you....how much money do you have to get started....how good are you at finding, hiring, managing contractors.....how good are you at managing thru tough times.....like right now where lots of syndicators have their backs to the wall, cutting off distributions, going back to investors for cash calls, renegotiating loan deals....Last 5+ years everyone looks like a freaking hero....generating 30-60-100% returns. 

My current experience is buy & holds in Los Angeles and Cleveland....

She is looking to buy a property in Los Angeles and only wants to borrow from the BANK (i.e HSBC).
