Thank you @Angelo Behar I have been putting a lot of thought into renting a single family home. I would like to eventually explore other avenues, but I think renting with a buy and hold strategy would be the best for me given my limited stat-up capital (school is pretty spendy these days).

I have genuine concern about becoming a landlord especially in property outside of CA, which I plan on doing because of cost, property tax, etc. I do feel however, that my fear is due to lack of experience and knowledge.

My name is Mike Johnson and I am new to real estate and have been soaking up as much knowledge as I can before I make my first purchase. I currently work as a government contractor in Coronado, CA doing administrative work. Prior to this I was an Automotive Master Technician so if you have any car questions, I'd be happy to give my thoughts/advice.

I am currently perusing my Bachelors in Finance with plans for an MBA thereafter. I am an avid reader and try to complete at least 2 books every month, most recently has been real estate, stock market, and textbooks of course.

I look forward to learning from you all and hope that I can share some wisdom of my own.
