I hope you all will communicate with open arms as I start my own journey into real estate investing.Though investing in real estate is new.

Hi Folks, I'm fairly new to RE investing and wanted some input on using interest only mortgages/loans.

(Southern California) Graduated from UCLA in 2003, I have fairly extensive entrepreneurship experience.

This is a pretty fair trade for their time.keep after it, read books, read BP, get to your local investor meetings.

Most communication with them is done via email or phone.

I worked out an extremely fair deal that I was willing to offer had I gotten the chance.

I would assume anything there is fairly expensive.

It's a fairly rough estimate but there are two areas each with about a total area of around... 16sq miles (so a total of about 32sq miles).

I am also an active board member in my condominium, managing the $2mm+ budget, negotiations with vendors and communications with unit owners and investors.My goal is to create an investment partnership through which to raise equity to grow a portfolio of multi-family and mixed use properties across a diversity of geographic domestic markets.
