Doing it as a owner-builder gave plenty of practical experience in managing a non-trivial construction process.Last year, we acquired one more condo in the neighborhood and have been gaining experience with land-lording as well.My background is in Computer Science and have been working full time as Software Engineer for about 20 years.I am interested in networking with fellow investors/tradesmen, especially who are active in our area (Culver City/West Los Angeles).Thanks and wish you all a very happy new year.Coty
