There is no low-hanging fruit, if you want to buy below market and cash flow a California rental you have to be prepared to turn over every rock looking for worms.

Police shut that one down in a raid too. normally they break a big hole in the house and tap into the electrical wire before the meter to steal juice. and the excess moisture destroys the plaster/drywall.my buddy was asked if the tenant can section off an area in the garage for legal pot growing. outside is -20 and he needed temps of 60F+. lol

All of this is the fruit of action.

Hence, as mentioned above, I look forward to both contributing to and learning a lot from you guys as it will make our experience here very fruitful and memorable.

Are you back linking to your site from here, or just having it in your info creates a link that gives some juice?

I look forward to fun and fruitful interaction with you all.Graham

He does not screen tenants & gets the low hanging fruit.

They seem to think prices of properties will start to drop.So if you can rest (3 jobs at break neck speed can cost you health wise) plus you want to live to see the fruits of your labor and start looking around in 12 months you might be in better shape to make serious moves.Just a thought.Good luck in your investing!

You're mixing apples and oranges for a fruit salad.

That body of knowledge can be frightful sometimes Joel :)I've seen blogs by frustrated poets and authors, just a means to express themselves and that's all well and good to let the creative juices flow, but when it comes to things like advising others in money matters or their health issues or buy a home, you'd think people would have enough sense not to advise if they really didn't know the subject....not always the case I know. :)
