It's an amazing place to learn and grow in real estate.

It's a little remote, however, the community seems to be new and growing and there are other houses and developments going up near by.

Antioch is a growing market with strong rental demand and opportunities for appreciation.

I am growing very frustrated.

It's not fun dealing with aging parents.

However, if you're a W2 high income earner or business owner, I can't imagine it makes any sense to flip houses, mail mass post cards, wholesale, or build lead gen websites with the value of your time being better spent other places (such as learning about real estate and increasing your income through proven means), such as at your 9-5pm or growing your business, and your real estate is a long term process and you don't need "home run" deals to qualify or make it work.

I'm a leader, not a boss, but they see and hear far more than I do so I'd be an idiot not to listen to my team.I think as you grow and expand, you too will do the same whether as a Transactional Lender or anything else you do. 

This is a great area with plenty of opportunities to grow as an investor.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat about deals, strategies, or just connect with other local investors.

I would start with single family and small multifamily to get familiar with the real estate market and make sure this is something you're passionate to do for the next 20 years and then grow into bigger multifamily deals.I hope this helps.

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.
