The girl that you met in the office this week is my daughter.But this is all so simple. 

Naturally, though, most CA people will loose money because of management costs/issues that are part and parcel with long-distance/turn key ownership, which for most will negate the positive effects brought on by solid fundamentals...Very little magic to any of this, boys and girls :) Figure out how to make money where you are, and stop trying to outsmart the marketplace...

Then one time I met a girl.

I am a buy and hold girl with a full time job!

Still remember her when she played that Catholic school girl.  

So you will need to deceide if you want that headache, or to make less profit but less headaches.also remember "you can take the girl out of the country, but you cant take the country out of the girl"

@Yvette ChungDon't give up girl! 

We both work full time jobs and have two young children (3 and 7 yo girls) so the last thing I need is something that demands all of my off-work hours.

Two of my last three tenants in different places: a young girl with a decent job who wanted to buy her own place (and did so after a year in one of my houses as a great tenant), and a "just married" young couple with one in medical school, great people.

The girl at Pro Desk is my best un-official source of info she literally knows everyone !!!
