Hello, Wondering who folks use in the southwest suburbs for waste hauling/dumpster service, regular pickup. 

I'm a local real estate broker, investor, and manager (100+ rentals, mostly Airbnb/STR and multifamily).House hacking is a tried-and-true method and in Sacramento you can produce some meaningful income while enjoying the appreciation and tax benefits of owning real estate.

I would rather invest in safe markets that produce a good return, then I can use that income to pay for a vacation anywhere in the world.I'm very pessimistic about the STR market in Hawaii.

I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.

If you do not regularly file for evictions, you'd best retain an attorney. 

. - Established and actively managed AirBnB's will continue to be consistent income producers with a gradual growth in returns. 

@David Lewis I'm regularly looking at multi-family listings on MLS and can only find cash flow in tertiary markets - think Lowell, Fitchburg, Springfield, etc.

If you are using it to buy a turnkey property which needs to produce cash flow to be considered a viable deal how does buying turnkey(Little to no cash flow) combined with HML(High interest only debt) make alot of sense financially? 

By all means give them a note on how to use all of the appliances (eg clean out the lint trap on the drier after each load, do not use dish soap in a dishwasher, change the furnace filter regularly, etc).
