Peace and Light Friends, I am based in Los Angeles and currently investing and wholesaling in the Inland Empire.

I'm also in the OC area and am an investor mostly in the Inland Empire.

I initially started with one house back in 2012 and before I knew it, the empire started expanding into a variety of different companies involved in the acquisition, selling and management of rental properties.

First off, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself Rome wasn't built in a day and your Real Estate empire won't be built after 6 weeks of commitment.That being said the team that helped you get to where you are today is usually not the same team that will get you to your ultimate goal.

Empirical data generally support these expectations, with self-storage, residential properties, and shopping centers having a success ratio from the mid-70% to the low-80% range in high-inflation semesters, higher than the industry average (71%)." 

You could also use the rent from the first few units to fund expansion of your tiny house empire.

I planned for an empire so registering in MO made sense.

Can you really create a massive real estate empire in a short time when starting with almost nothing?

Can anyone recommend an association in the Inland Empire area of California?

I know there are multiple ways to build a real estate empire; it is inspiring, getting to learn the many creative ways the fine people of the bigger pockets community are growing their businesses.
