I'm a Licensed Insurance Agent here in CA, specializing in Apartment buildings, Restaurants, Workers Comp and Term & Indexed Universal Life, (Key Person).I am looking to buy an 10-50 unit C class apartment complex in north County SD, Riverside County and Los Angeles.

George Mason University is where I graduated from and I have lived in Fairfax for my whole life so I have a good feel for the Fairfax City area. 

We live in the California Bay Area where the real estate is crazy, so I know it would be tricky to do anything close by, but one target area for us is to look into real estate near universities where the demand for rent is high and there is a lot of turn over so we do not have to deal with rent control issues. 

I went to college at Old Dominion University in Norfolk then moved to Washington, DC to work shortly after graduation.

There are many much worse areas in Phoenix.The listing you pointed to is close enough to Grand Canyon University (GCU) to possibly attract students.  

I got a referral from my father in law, a referral from my brother in law, a listing in the MLS, a referral from a broker who helped us close a deal and we cold called the owner of our 16 unit.Get the universe on your side and let it be known that you are in the market. 

My day job is working in laboratory while going to school at Texas State University.

I have significant income that would probably qualify me as an accredited investor but I'm not sure if that matters to the crowdfunding sites, as I'm not looking to invest in other people's properties.

I've actually taught Financial Peace University at my church, so I'm leaning conservative also...  

If you are or become an accredited investor, you can buy into institutional grade $50-125M projects with as little as $100,000 and diversify.
