@Kristin Moore how long is the stay.  I wanted to go a day early and leave a day later?

(No cost) Forming new relationships and networking may be the most important aspect of success in real estate. Furthermore, learning from the real-life success and failure of other investors is invaluable. This is a perfect place to learn, grow, and network!!

The connections that perfectly complement you are out there. If you have not found them yet, you aren't looking hard enough. No successful investor will tell you that it is easy, but they will tell you that most could achieve success with hard work and perseverance. Don't give up!

@Windu C. this is an easy ask.  Rents are determined by condition and location.  Those in good condition are easily rented.  I have a local property manager for you that all my clients use.

@Andrew Sol evictions in California are very tricky.  I use Silverstein Eviction Law and have so for over 20 years.  He is the man and it's not that expensive.  Just finished up another case with him last week.

@Adine Mateo my vote would be to sell it and free up your VA eligibility to use somewhere else. Your potential profit from renting is non-existent. I don't see the market going up in the next few years, so little to no equity. Hopefully, you can sell and break even, move on with your life and find something else later.

@Tiffany McKinney don't let them control your money.  Go with a self-directed account.  Reach out to @Dmitriy Fomichenko who is the expert in this field.  I have been using and recommending his services for over 10 years.

@Harry Kniznik I vote for you to sell and take the capital gains exclusion.  Too much of a negative cash flow to hold on to it.

@May Mirzaei honestly the only place to cash flow will be out of state or if you want to do AirBnb, maybe Big Bear, Joshua Tree, etc.

@May Mirzaei you can invest anywhere, the question should be will I cash flow?  I would pick Rancho Cucamonga, but good luck finding something that cash flows.
