I have even considered following and perhaps even making an attempt to bid on the property (first APN) at auction. 

I am by no stretch attempting to buy all but to get started with 1 and build up.

You need to let go of that dream today.I own well over 100 properties and wouldn't want to attempt to live off that cash flow.

Joining BP is one of my first attempts to network, get involve, and position myself to learn all I can to get started.

Some of that was true and some of it was a poor attempt at me trying to be funny.

I am attempting to have my leases expire in the warmer months, when possible.

Earlier this year after reading (Rich Dad Poor Dad) I realized, amongst other things, that I’m not getting any younger so I decided to make a major career change in order to get in from the ground level in attempt to become a successful real estate investor.I now work for the family business which just so happens to be a remodeling company my dad started 10 years ago.

Here are the options that I have considered with the idea that I would need to get two tenants in the building and then attempt to make the purchase and cash out the owner: Option 1Sale Price: 130kMonthly $: 1k (the owner's pmt is estimated at 2k, but this is uncertain as I haven't spoken with the owner directly). 

Once I have enough scribbledeegook to make anyone's head want to explode I will attempt to layout a fairly definitive plan on how I plan on accomplishing my buy and hold strategy.
