Hi Zac, this might be doable. Is there a way to look at the property past March 10th?

Is this still available? Could you please message me with details? 

Interested in learning more about the property. Please details. 

Thanks

Hi Eric, my daughter is pretty sure they are relocating there soon so this is one of the areas I was looking into for Multifamily opportunities. Nice tax right off to visit grand kids :) - 

Eric, I'll PM you to discuss opportunities in that area.

Thanks everyone who responded to my post. You all had very helpful suggestions and I appreciate it. This is very cool that there are so many people in my area. I'm looking forward to figuring out how to do my first purchase. Upon further reading I realize I need to eventually have 25 to 35 rental units which is a bit overwhelming when I think about that, but that's how goals work I guess. 

I feel like I have the concept down, I'm just wondering how to find my first deal and should I just do a single residence or a multifam? Seems to be more bang for the buck if you do multifam. 

If anyone has any advice on how to spot the "deals" (20% to 30%) under list. 

Thanks again. 

Hi everyone, I just joined BiggerPockets Pro I am finally taking steps to become a Real Estate Investor. I"m based in Southern California (South Orange County). I've been thinking about doing something in real estate investment for years and like everyone else I've been on blogs and webinars and read a ton of books. I've had my Real Estate license in the 80's so I know a thing or two. I've got cash to invest and my goal is to retire from my 25+ career in software with at least $1M within 7 years. I've always felt that going after multi tenant properties with a solid cashflow would be a good strategy (Buy low, improve the property, then sell high). Southern Cal may be challenging because of high prices, but the rents are high too, so maybe not so hard...anyway I need help getting started so I'm really glad I found BiggerPockets and I'm hoping all you pros can point me in the right direction.
