The property works flawlessly for a year or two with zero repairs/calls/turnover.)

Reaching out to a loan broker or two could be pretty beneficial too.

That means if a tenant leaves once a year I have two weeks to get someone in before I go in the red.

Since the property is in Los Angeles County, I expect the eviction could take 4-6 months, followed by another month or two to secure new tenants.

I go around and try to connect people based on what they like and in January we are starting a 30-minute speed networking where two people sit across from different people for 10 sets of 3 minutes with topics.There is another good one near me too where they do presentations and also no-pitch.

I have two 3 bedroom places, mostly families coming in so those romantic packages wouldnt be that popular.

Quote from @Sam Brock: I'm a contractor and currently building two houses on two lots that I own outright.

I was able to become financially independent in 2 years with two properties.

If you really have gone from 3 to 200 properties this past year while having a two W2 jobs, you seem to have found your niche and doing well, good for you. 

I generally look for two things: new homes on the market for sale are they being sold very close to asking price, with short days on markets or not.
