No worries Ryan, that's definitely a valuable trait to have in order to build rapport with potential sellers.

A extremely valuable resource for all things real estate.

I think he will give you his advice that is way more valuable than mine on this subject.

I'm an expert in a very small niche and I'm going to give my company everything i can before i leave as a thank you for funding my real estate.My most valuable asset has been my ability to earn a living as an engineer and i retain that asset but real estate is way more fun.Gary :)

So I think the best strategy is to build wealth in valuable, appreciating LA assets, and then transition to more cashflowing assets down the road.You mention Inglewood, and that's where I'm looking now, too.

2) Even if so, is there a better way of leveraging all the equity I have in the SFHs to trade up to more valuable, better cash flowing real estate?

It has been a valuable learning experience.

Unless its unique and valuable or I have a need for it it goes to the landfill .

Kenny,This is extremely valuable and useful information.
