First year was very rough with poor property management and tenants.

BPCON happens every October, this year is in Vegas Oct 5-7th good to get some practice in going to local networking events because BPCON is like drinking from a firehose, in the best way possible though!

For context, I'm based in the SF Bay Area in CA and looking into buying my first OOS rental after house hacking locally for 10 years.

I'm always looking to add more and more just to possibly make it more comfortable to prompt great ratings.

Other companies have come in person to do it.Every year, I get new 4-point inspections on ALL of my properties and send to my agent to re-shop my insurance rates. 

I still don't think you are truly "cash flowing" until at least year 3, but probably year 5-10. 

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

There thinking goes something like this - I can buy this great property for $5 million cash flowing $600k per year (they neglect expenses).  

It’s also good to have separate bank accounts and keep everything tied to the business—keeps things clean for when it’s tax time.2.Pitching in Person:Face-to-face is all about connection.
