hello Jose,

I am Chinese and moved here over 3 years ago. I don't think people would underestimate your intelligence according to how well you speak their language. Make sure you can express your thoughts clearly. That's all it matters. Since you are already living in US, you will pick up the language quickly. If you are still concerned, I would suggest do your homework about REI before talking to those contacts.

Good luck!

Emma

Welcome to San Diego and BP!

Just came back from my Thanksgiving trip in Las Vegas. I love living in San Diego.

Hello Joel, I am very interested in learning how you found your tri-plex deal in San Diego. I am living in San Diego, but have been focusing on investing in out of state. Could you please share your story of San Diego tri-plex?

Thanks,

Emma

@William Yeh what exactly are you looking for? Project manager, architect or underwriter for Senior housing? 

My current and previous companies have done a lot of senior housing properties in NV and CA. I may be able to connect you to some old co-workers if you need.

I have done some Senior housing acquisition(includes development phase) underwriting myself at work.

I am in. I own SFR now and try to get into Multi.

Thank you @Danny Duran & @Wendell De Guzman I will try to connect with Mark and listen to two mentioned podcasts. I believed I listen them before and I will re-listen them.

@Mindy Jensen Thank you for important tips about partnering with location partners. 

Thank you!

@Crystal Smith Thank you so much for your detailed answers.

We are buy& hold investors for passive income. I have not checked out Section 8 tenants yet. It's seems that Chicago is a popular section 8 rental market. Will need more education and help from management companies if we consider section 8 tenants. One of our houses in Memphis we bought recently because previous owner lost money on section 8 tenant. The previous section 8 tenant in the house default on rents but it took PM 8 months to evict the tenant and place a new tenant in. 

I wounder if there is special renting regulations or laws about evicting Section 8 Tenant in Chicago. 

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I am so Thankful to all your help.
