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.

They won't know anything about the property except rather or not they poured pink stuff in the drains and changed the locks. 

$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.

Pink or off pink is the color.

If you leave the windows bare you'll be cheapening the look on an upper priced unit or opening yourself up to the tenant hanging cheap (paint drop-cloth quality) blinds using the same nails he would use to hang Christmas lights outside, 20 penny nails!
