I'm a real estate investor from Southern California who has a few rental properties currently. I've done 5 buy-and-hold deals personally over a long period of time and I'm looking to ramp up my investing activity significantly. I did one flip with a family member about 8 years ago. I now am in the management consulting field and I am primarily working with banks on ensuring their compliance with lending regulations and internal controls. I recently got married and my wife and I are in our early thirties. Our ultimate goal is to be able to comfortably retire (if we want) in our mid to late 40s.
