The reason for my post is now that I get deeper into RE investment, I would like to sharpen my pencil on management.

That will give you enough of a knowledge base to start diving into investing.

So, you'll need to work on your education and real estate experience first before you are ready to dive into multifamily syndications.

I believe that in order to really learn things is by experience and that's why I want to dive into my first purchase already.

Just trying to learn if it was feasible to do before diving in.

I've been reading several books and preparing myself to dive in to investing in real estate. 

One last point, I don't know if I should dive into an emerging market with no experience.

@Blake Edwards I guess it works here in SoCal too you just need a much deeper pockets, adding a few zero to everything.

I’m ready to start diving into real estate investing, I’ve been able to pick up some different schools of thought looming through bigger pockets.

If you settle on a price then tie it up with a contract right away and put down $100. for your option fee if this property allows for that and then you have nothing to worry about but loosing $100. but gaining a lot of experience in working through the fear of diving into your first real estate deal!
