Also keep on eye on rental demand and cost.

Keep an eye out closer to the summer for our Fall Bootcamp announcement!

@Andrew Steffens - See above@John Underwood - see above@Jay Thomas - yes... agree and have thought of future appreciation although the house is so big (5,000 ft2)that it will take me so many repairs bit by bit that I feel like it will get to be time to start Renovating back at the begin again by the time I get to the 'end' of the renovation. haha creative financing is indeed the only option at that point - but then leverage becomes a larger stress point than being mortgage free-ish and just cash flowing 'passively'. also to note is that my town just approved a giant tax bill increase and I already pay 12k a year *insert eye roll emoji* 

In addition to Fannie Mae's homesteps.com site, I also keep an eye on Freddie's homepath.com and HUD's hudhomestore.com. 

Consider HOA regulations as they could pose additional risks, be sure to thoroughly review the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs) regarding rental restrictions or limitations.Strength:Elderly tenants are inclined to move less frequently, resulting in reduced turnover.

Make a note of the addresses, then follow up with door-knocking or direct mail campaigns to speak with the owners personally.Lists of Probate and Foreclosures: Keep an eye out for leads on these lists.

Hopefully the finished product is pleasant to the eyes on first look.

I don't think it's worthed the hassle to do out-of-state rehab-fix-rent outside CA if you live in CA.About the school district just enter niche.com ; find the best 5 school district in your metro and buy-hold there.All this software opens your eyes that the opportunity is actually located in front of your eyes.For cashflow I still invest in midwest primary for the following reasons :  we need those rentals to maximize tax and cash-flow(gross rent is twice mortgage stuff); I prefer just turnkey for midwest.

The neighbor who is attached is the one and only eye sore on the block. 

What caught my eye about this one is the under rented unit prices..
