He is kind of slowing down and father of one of my colleagues and willing to help and get involved with 30-35 years of experience doing this . 

I'm currently buying 3 properties and own 1(1 is paid off in full that I have been pulling the equity out of) and I'm in the process of buying a 4th and then I will have to be done for awhile (dang this is SO addicting) I am inheriting $20K so far from my father's estate.

It was my Father's long time business his guidance & knowledge pushed me to follow his steps & when the right opportunity came across i did not hesitate.

This would literally be my first deal ever, but I am going to be partnering with my father who has over 20 years investing experience, but he would be new to investing out-of-state, so we just want to make sure we know enough about the area/market there before we dive in and submit an offer. 

The gentleman that runs this with his son are genuinely fantastic people -- the father passed away unfortunately, genuine saint -- but his son and I are continuing to push things forward.It turns out the city here in Oakland is starting their plan review, so we're about 6 weeks away from permits, and we're likely 2 months away from panels delivered, so there is a bit of time before we have to execute on this project.

My father has a rental there that has performed very well.

My father-in-law attempted to give us land as a wedding present. 15 years later we still don’t have a title.

I work with, and learn from, my father, @Rick Stein, who has been in the business for over 30 years.

My father stays right down the street.

My gf’s father is a huge fan and I think an annual trip is bound to happen.
