You will attract all scumbags in this world and soon find out your repair and legal cost will easily pass your yearly income.

It was about $10,000 to repair.

@Jeff SkinnerRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

You will take care of repairs under say $200 or $300.

For instance tenant responsibility for up to $500, $1000, whatever in repairs before landlord responsibility kicks in.

I am NET cash flowing just over 1k (includes maintenance, repairs, cap-ex, vacancies, utilities), which is pretty good considering this is in SoCal.

If it's a couple of $ thousand, I'd just pay for the repair and move on.
