It's ridiculous that any of this and all of the calling, and additional steps are necessary, but that seems to be the burden to bare living around those that don't respect themselves, much less others.

but as @Morgan Nilsen said you need to learn the market. 50k is just barely enough to start from abroad.

Currently the rent barely breaks even but the price has appreciated quite a bit.Should I have the condo sold today, I would have about $260k on hand ($180k down pay + $80k profit after exp.)After listening to some podcasts and doing research, I decide my main goal is to buy and hold for the passive cash flow.

Well I can't help you much, as I barely received my Salesperson License last week, but I am also from the Ventura area and looking to invest in the future.

$10,400 + $15,000 = $25,400.I am married with 2 kids and love the family time, so 1-2 transactions per year is a small time commitment and just barely cuts into family time.If I sell 2 transactions in a year then I buy another property that year as opposed to every 2 years.I put all houses on a 15 year loan.

You will get this later in life when you reflect, and realized that you have barely scratched the surface of this thing called life.So, while your contribution is welcomed, maybe practice on your delivery would be helpful. :)

Unfortunately, difficult to cash flow unless you are putting a considerable portion down (30% at a bare minimum).

They would park their truck and trailer in front of my house where I could barely get into my own driveway.

It’s just a good idea to have a bare minimum acceptance policy.
