This is my first post, just looking for guidance, not sure what I need to provide, but I'm sure someone may have experience with this.Thank you!

Do you provide move in and move out reports How many pictures do you take of the property prior to tenant moves in and after the tenant moves outDo you get weekly reports when the property is vacant what prospective tenants are saying about your homeDo you provide monthly newsletters to your tenantsDo you hold investor education classes to help me become a better investorDo you have single point portfolio based management services?

I ASSUME you’re talking $400+ in extra expenses for providing water, power, sewer, gas, internet, communal area cleaning, and exterior maintenance.

Plus, they provide great opportunities for cash flow, especially if you’re looking to scale and reinvest profits into future properties.If you’d like to connect or chat more about strategies, deals, or even market insights, feel free to reach out.

This will provide you two benefits:1) Help you better define the position, so you can hire a better matched person2) Make training the next person easier

These options could provide flexibility with your upfront costs and monthly payments.Expand Your Search Radius or Property Type:If you’re set on a single-family home, you might find more affordable options by expanding your search to nearby areas in San Diego County or by considering properties that need a little TLC.Partnerships:Partnering with another investor or family member might be a way to pool resources for a purchase.

To structure a partnership, consider forming an LLC where you handle property management, renovations, and operations, while the investor provides the down payment.

Really appreciate any insights that you can provide!

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

Provided you are sticking to the letter and spirity of your rental agreement, you have to set boundaries People that get indignant over you setting boundaries are not worth worried about.
