Hi all,I'm new to the forum and would really appreciate some advice on my current situation.I'm an engineer in the Pasadena, CA area with a great (non-RE) career which is pretty safe, but just covers my family's expenses - including our townhome.My father recently passed away and I obtained a luxury home in Gualala, CA (little equity, huge payment), a lot leased to roofers in Torrance, CA, which I'm kicking out because of non-payment (~500K equity, low payment), and several pieces of San Bernadino desert property (mostly paid off).I have the Gualala house up for sale and will hopefully get a little over what's left on the mortgage, if not, I plan on leasing it in 6 months.I have one desert property in a developed area up for sale.

I am not questioning for a moment that it works for you, but that philosophy does not work for the guy sitting in Manhattan or San Francisco.If you research my properties, you will be hard pressed to find very many of my competitors who can touch our projects in price point and quality.
