I has been investing as a passive investor in a few limited partnerships.  

See the attached breakdown of losses for more details.

I need help finding statistics of appreciation, population growth, job growth.California of course has great appreciation and limited competition growth with high house prices making renting almost a necessity but I worry with more people leaving California then coming in this year that Phoenix might be a better investment in terms of long term growth.

You might want to limit your visits though to avoid escalation.Short term if the smart lock is on his personal door just change it to a key if it's isn't working for him, you can always switch back later.

Just a personal business philosophy, and I acknowledge that there are limits to my operation capacity/oversight.

If even 1 tenant was not paying on time, it would report a loss.

Cruz seems to focus more on seller financing which seems to be limited as a lot of sellers don’t offer this.  90 day rental road map focuses on private funding with exclusive lenders for their students that will fund 100 percent of the deals.  

If your realtor is listing it for free and not helping, that's not much help since leaving you to screen tenants and run through leads is like asking you to perform knee surgery, you don't know what you are doing.All rental listings should get bombarded on Zillow Rental Manager and HotPads, etc in the first week so if you have limited activity, your price is either too high or the photos are bad and the copy about the place is bad.Use something like RentSpree from screening.

Listing after 2-3 months would also mean loss of rent, whereas listing now may mean property may be on the market for a bit longer.What have others experienced?

The title Co is at a loss, has anyone ever done this and how did they purchase the property?
