A large landlord might have some employees to handle turnovers.

Is San Diego too tough of a market to start out in? 

Thanks to this community as always.Dang that’s a tough one.

It’s a tough decision, but we’re adjusting our strategy to align with market conditions and our timeline.Having come from a corporate background, I’m used to doing these kinds of planning exercises.

The average McDonald's employee could afford to live in 218 now they cant.

If you dont have the tools and skills to DIY and get yourself out of a tough spot then you can be SOL if the deal goes south.

Like everyone else has said cashflow would be tough in your local market.

I looked at somewhere between 150 and 200 deals before getting my first deal and that was at a time when market conditions weren't as tough as they are now. 

1st position available everywhere . 2nd position will be tough to find favorable terms 

I know I already mentioned this, but @Mordy Chaimovitz...If you can get by with lower cash flow and invest for the long-term generational wealth (aka appreciation) in nice neighborhoods, that is the way to go, but it's tough to get by at times -- at least it is for me.Just know everyone's situation is different, and you should do what is best for your specific circumstances!
