I just wanted to throw out there how great of a resource Bigger Pockets is. As a property manager and a new real estate agent, this website has helped me out so much!! The amount of experience in these forums is incredible.

Thank you Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner, as well as everyone on this website!!!

I see on most of the forums the 70% rule, 1% rule on rentals, etc. etc.

My observations have also seen most of these posts and numbers talk about places in the midwest or middle america. I live in SoCal and would love to see numbers and percentages for cash posivtive operations where the housing prices are much higher and rent margins are not as large.

How are the margins for buy and hold, flippers, and investors in Coastal SoCal.

I stumbled upon BP podcast and have been going for a few days straight of trying to play catch up to the most recent posts. As well as taking mental notes along the way.

Thank you guys for the positive encouragement and tips. @darnell Kramer @Daniel K Adderly

I have bought and in the process of rehabbing a Triplex in San Diego, CA. I got into this deal with my parents. They were looking for a place to retire, and I was sick of paying rent. So we teamed up, (My whole family is in the construction industry) I am doing the physical labor and they are the bank. In a total of two months I have gutted the kitchen of two units and renovated the entire property.

Now the issue is that I am learning on the go on how to be a property manager.

I am looking to acquire as much knowledge and experience as quickly as I can, in order to minimize costly mistakes.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

Now the issues come into this. I am 26, so i am often not taken seriously when I work with some of the sub contracting that I am doing. The even bigger issue is that I am learning on the go on how to be a property manager.
