In a nut shell, I am looking forward to owning in Bakersfield.thanks,Matt

Looks like Homer has growing market, lots of retirees, fishing capital for travel and outdoor adventures. 

For "little fish" with just a few million to invest,  they seem far better than buying one or a few NNN properties, which puts all of your eggs in one or a few baskets.   

Hi everyone.. newbie to bigger pockets so I apologize if this post belongs somewhere else.I have other businesses that provide me a solid income, so I'm interested in using my own money for investing.As I've checked out mentors/bootcamps, most of them have a lot of info about mindset & raising investor funds to get your deals done.Syndication is a possibility, but I'm less interested in the 'how to' of syndication/raising investor capital and more interested in analyzing commercial deals & the nuts/bolts of the deals and increasing revenue/cashflow from multifamily properties, vetting property management.footnote about me* while I'm not very active in real estate currently - I've owned a residential mortgage/real estate brokerage (sold 12 yrs ago) & I've owned SFRs & duplexes. 

The most successful have door knockers in the neighborhood, often of similar demographics, to fish out deals.

You're in an area that's going nuts.

It seems that the series LLC will at least provide some protection for the small fish like myself (I'm not starting off with a large amount of assets).

I also manage two Airbnb/Vrbo Rentals in Sargent which is a fishing community south of Galveston.

@Daniel Siapin  agreed until you talk to the city or county you have no clue as to their tree ordinance.I portlandia and were i Live in Lake Oswego they are nuts over trees but trees cannot preclude you from building in the legal foot print.. it affects us on land use IE subdividing but not infill lots.Also negative grade homes if they are not common in an area are tough to sell.. in some areas Like Birmingham AL comes to mine most of the homes are either negative or positive grade.. the positive is you might be able to do a day light or walk out type construction and pick up some cheap heated space.In my logging days we would have 1/4 acre slicked off in a matter of 15 minutes  LOL>

at least that's my thinking... anyone agree or you think I am nuts.
