I see you’re from Anaheim Hills.

I personally know a guy who has his house in Idaho and works in Anaheim, Ca.  

Run your numbers assuming you'll have an immediate vacancy and turnover and then if they end up staying, then consider that icing on the cake.

I target Inland Empire(Ontario, Rancho, Redlands, SB,) and OC(Anaheim, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Orange).

The secondary dimensions add the icing on the cake.

@Diana DorantesHaving a hard time finding good deals definitely sounds about right with an overall shortage of housing especially in Columbus which is crazy right now as @Marc Rice stated making it more competitive and leading to most properties flying off the shelf like hot cakes.

Getting a drywall patch smooth is a relatively simple process that any amateur can do if they're willing to spend the time to do it; a professional, piece of cake. 

(Read “Tax-free Wealth” by Tom Wheelwright).It’s all now going straight into a multifamily I’m acquiring from a tired landlord next week.Doing BRRRR is the only vehicle that lets you eat your cake and still have it.No one I know of has refinanced out their capital from a syndication in 6 months yet.Limited partner in a syndication is way worse than been an employee.At least an employee never gets fed an excuse why the paycheck isn’t going to be paid next week. :)That’s my plan.I know it works because I’ve done it multiple times.I sure know it doesn’t work for the stock market because I’ve been in it for more than 10 years too (and made 35% gain).

A good eldner will do all the residential loan products and then some...There are sort of two schools of investing:  1) go for the appreciation and if cashflow comes that fine or 2) go for the cashflow and appreciation is the "icing on the cake." 

Turned a lemon into a piece of cake!
