Quote from @Stephanie Lopez: I have been listening to different podcasts and some mention that high-end competitive markets like Orange County, California could make it difficult to start an investing business.

I typically sell single family houses as Turnkey's to investors from California and to offset the profit by buying into an apartment complex to get the tax write offs makes a good deal of sense.

However, I agree it’s better to just cut the losses now and learn from this crazy experience.

If the answer is the latter, is it possible I would lose the money I think I would save by missing deals while trying to learn and upgrade my site myself? 

Always wanted to learn more about multifamily deals How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I'd like to use these to upgrade into something much larger in the next 2-4 years. 20+ units.

I've been mulling over something and wanted to get your take on it.

Hi I hope you all are doing wellI am looking to invest around the Lindell Bvld area but looking at the crime map it seems like it's not safe and looking at rentals there are too many rentals available leading to a saturated market.

Doorloop has been great to us. 

If you manage homes built before 1978, there's a key regulation to be aware of: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires property managers and Landlords Nationwide to be certified in lead-based paint handling.
