Having engaged in reading about rental properties, I proposed to my brothers that we each save $1,000/month from our jobs and invest in two multi-family homes in a year, and save the cash flow from those homes to buy more homes in the coming years.My older brother's preference is to take over his client's buildings.

Hopefully she’s just blowing smoke now.

Great job @Pamela Satcher! 

Let them...that's their job...don't help them.

Don't get me wrong, I love my day job, but I know that the job market can get rough and lead to layoffs.

Bakersfield is somewhere that is growing with new jobs, new development, and new infrastructure.  

I also used that time to ask specific questions on how to do things so I can learn from them in case I want to do it myself.I was quoted around 13k for the job.

I think you will appreciate more of the job a manager does by dealing with it even on a small scale, light lifting multi- like this. 

I have a day job right now I dont NEED cashflow but cashflowing will free up capital from my day job to reinvest.

As we've both had student loans, 2 kids, and for me some job instability, we would need to borrow from family/friends to get to 10%.
