My primary concern is the fact that I'm investing in the Pacific Northwest which is somewhat hostile toward landlords and makes it difficult to do business, meaning there is a high level of regulatory risk in my region.I'm not sure exactly what asset class to focus on, I just heard the BP Podcast #416 with Matt Onofrio which got me really intrigued about industrial warehouses, and I've also watched a couple of youtubers who have had success with Self-storage, but I'm really just looking for books that others have found helpful for getting started in any non-multifamily CRE asset classes.I was really inspired by Matt's story and would like to start learning more about warehouse investing, I'm in Portland and we have an Ocean connected port, River barges, intercontinental railroad connections, an International airport and of course a large interstate highway intersection, so that sounds like a good place to start, but I don't know the first thing about this asset class.I get the things to be aware of for multifamily investing to forecast income and expenses and evaluate a deal, but I have a feeling Industrial is a whole different ball game, and I'm looking for resources to get started.Thanks,-Mike

You are the average of the people you spend the most time with, and the attitudes and perspectives of many of the BP members here is very confidence-inspiring!

As an aspiring real estate investor this gives my a lot of inspiration.

A recent example: A landlord friend just move a family of 5 into a sizable home; parents are paying the rent as it were, but he ran all 3 adult children through the process as well and put them on the lease.RE the lease language around "Vacating" (e.g. death) - talk to a real estate attorney in your neck of the woods. 

Inspired by biggerpockets, I bought my first property from bank foreclosure.

By Florida law everything passes to his children.

Tell them you are a inspiring investor and looking to learn.Good luck and enjoy the ride!

We're long time friends and she's been an inspiration towards real estate investing!

@Rebecca Knox not running one myself but served on a board for a period of time that focused on housing for special needs adults and children.
