I am learning a hard lesson, though. 

Lessons learned?

Let's connect.This is a new one so still building, but I've had meetups and they are really good to learn and network.

Usually the numbers don't work to build in these neighborhoods, unless government tax credits, etc.Do you see the problem with your two statements:"The turnover costs could/will be high"and"How much more damage could they do?"

I do intend to stay close to home - but home provides only annual opportunities and I’m looking for year round possibilities with tax deed properties. 

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

My question to y'all good folks: Do you know of, or can you recommend, a company or brokerage that deals in property management in California that I could work for full-time and learn everything there is to know? 

I’m always open to learning and figuring out the best path forward.Thanks again for sharing your insights, I really appreciate it!

Adding an ADU Lessons learned?

LOL  a softer way to say this is if your simply looking to become a landlord this is a very easy subject to read up on and learn and understand U do not need to pay someone to teach it to you.
