staying in California, or venturing out?

This will be a part time venture but I know that it will take hard work, time,and dedication.

Just trying to kick off this investing venture.

Wishing you success on your real estate ventures!

My partner and I are heavily pursuing multi-family and apartment complexes under 10 units as our first joint venture.

Yes I know I could go into more serious flipping ventures, and that is a business.  

Get to know housing inspectors - they can refer lots of leads to you.Get to know the sheriff, they post Failire to pay rent notices.Be prepared to make an offer - all of my Associates keep close at hand an accordion folder with every form they need; skinny contract, blank checks, seller financing clauses, lead paint disclosures, option agreements, joint ventures forms, management agreements, long form commercial contracts, hybrid contracts, APOD form, listing agreements, Biz cards, personal "one sheet".Be ready and prepared to make an offer - understand nothing down formulas, use controlling tactics, get yourself in chain of title, make appointments, look at properties and make offers everyday.

This would be my very first venture outside my personal home.
