It's great that you're looking for a warmer place and good real estate opportunities.With your incomes and careful planning, you're set up well to build a successful portfolio while keeping costs reasonable.

Additionally, I'll continue to build equity in the other home with a renter.Now, I may be able to make $10,000 if I sold the home but it just seems as if building the equity would be a better option. 

I'm considering building a few on a large piece of land near a local college in San Diego.

(Hope to have this resolved by October)ADVANTAGES:*I'm nearly two years into a career as a Property Manager in a larger company (First stint as an Assistant Manager in a 22 building portfolio consisting of Class B to C properties and over 500 units, and was recently promoted to our Luxury, Class A division with 100 units in 2 buildings).

I want to build my list of stories, I want the lessons, I want to grow.

Building a relationship with a real person will help you when you want to make the 2nd, 5th, or 20th deal.

We are a growing family and need more space and of course, more opportunity for income building. 

I'm just starting out do to low inventory I'm going to be do new build  rent refinance and repeat any advice?

The build costs have to correct or the land prices do, we don't have much of this inventory on the horizon either with the general plan.

Tenant relations, property management, and real estate investing may all be experienced firsthand by owning a multi-unit building.
