@Hector Espinosa While cap rates can vary widely from one market/city to another and from one type and class of property to another (and based on the quality of the tenant), I did a quick search on LoopNet for MF properties currently for sale in SD and most "asking prices" suggest cap rates in the 4%-5% range.

I come from a poor upbringing and don't really have family members that have any money.

The quality of work on prefab is not great, but easily sufficient for rentals.  

Majority of the renters on there are travel nurses which helps with the tenant quality (in my opinion). 

If you have enough unit it will make sense to have cleaner on your payroll but to starting off, most common sense is to find a very high quality, reliable cleaner that works with your budget.

Keep diversifying your income with side hustles, and continue learning through books like "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki.By the time you're earning more, you'll be ready to dive into real estate, leveraging your higher income and knowledge to scale quickly.Let me know if you need advice on financing when you're ready!

In terms of what I learned from reading Rich Dad/Poor Dad a couple years, I think I land in the Poor Dad philosophy and I'm looking to break out of that a little, but also am risk-averse at my core. 

There's plenty of quality inventory under 400k in that market. 

If you are cash poor, and can recoup cash from this transaction, it will give you some ammo for the next deal that is going to come in the next 12-18 months.If you were using the space, that would be different, but if you're looking to rent it out, and are stuck without a tenant, you become even more cash poorGood luckGino

I am not sure about what you are reflecting in the cleaning number but for me 1) it is shocking what cleaners charge but it is not where you want to try to save money for quality 2) it is a pass through, the guest pays it. $250 per turn would be for larger unit and very good job.
