Starting out with some experience and some cash...

I live in San Diego, CA, and I really want to get more involved in RE investing. I left the Marine Corps in 2004, and started in mortgage banking so I have a really good understanding of finance/analysis. I also have four properties: a home in Carlsbad, two rentals with about 200k proceeds if we sold them, and a second home in big bear that we Airbnb. I also have a line of credit of about 300k. I would love someone with some experience/success to help me better understand the best options. Being a Marine, I tend not to try and blaze new trails, but follow orders and do what works - then put systems In place to duplicate the process. I also have a good understanding of how to delegate and manage projects/people through my experience running my mortgage business. I’d love to try and transition into more passive income, and I like the concept of multi-unit because it’s more doors per residential loan, but am open to suggestions. Any idea of what strategies I should look for? Partnership opportunities that exist? Mentorship I could seek? Value I could add in terms of my expertise? Thanks a lot - Daniel Carlsbad, CA
