I know the answer.Because I , Lucas and many other individuals can out perform any PM.No one has a bigger incentive than to do the best that can be done than a motivated owner.Does you PM answer inquiries at 10PM?

While building your team, it's important you understand the motivations of everyone on your team.Property Management Company (PMC): No one else on your team should be as vested in a long-term relationship with you as a PMC.

@Don Konipol As a young salesperson in the investment RE realm, this advice was very insightful and motivational to me.

So back to the question, What is the motivation to sell?

@Engelo Rumora is just a call, email, or text message away so that part of your post is simply false and makes me question the motive of your post.

I am, however, motivated by reading stories of others who started out with very little (albeit, in a much more forgiving market than the bay area) and amassed quite the portfolio.I think the only way I could get into a property in the bay area would be to have a set up similar to the one above. 

Not only for investment purposes, but if you're house hacking, then it will be your home too.It sounds like you're motivated considering your proactive approach.

The good news is that once you gain traction you can hire a VA to cold call for you and then just talk to the most motivated sellers.

Engelo himself experienced losses as a turnkey investor before immigrating to the United States, which motivated us to create a company that prioritizes integrity and accountability.Over the years, we've learned from our mistakes and endeavored to rectify them whenever possible, and at times as Engelo mentioned- put our hands in our own pockets to pay for them.

The SFH today is dilapidated and undoubtedly needs a face lift but because of the cashflow, the owner's not motivated to make repairs.
