In New York City living there is notoriously expensive and I'm seeing in my local area people moving two counties up and commuting for work.

Notoriously volatile.

PM's are notoriously terrible in the area. 

They're not anything special, but just a little better than the super basic towels: https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod...For my Disney property, where guests lose towels by the dozen (the area is notorious for it), I just get the basic Sams Club ones that are $29 for a pack of 6.

Those properties promise to hold their value in a market that has been notoriously volatile since the 1920's. 

Finally, we should know that large stretches of Golden State are notorious for prostitution and drug dealing.By contrast, let's look at a property in Clovis: http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/19833265/605-W-Ashl...This fourplex is listed at $415,000, with a 3% cap rate, and actuals of $12k NOI.  

Meaning sometimes you have to track down a bunch of listing agents and they notoriously don't answer or return calls. 

This is a societal trap (mostly only young men fall for it) that drives men to work themselves to death in the hopes of maximizing their sexual market-place value, or somehow thinking that if they become wealthy, notorious, famous, or "accomplished" enough they will somehow attract an amazing soul-mate of a woman.

San Diego utility companies are notorious for sucking everyone in the city dry.

They are also notorious for breaking and when one part breaks, the entire thing is useless.I would just rent without.
