When I had arrived I found out that this guy had one truck, his own personal vehicle that doubled as his work vehicle.. and some personal tools.

It's always a personal choice everyone has a different perspective.   

There is no universal right or wrong, it's personal, it should be a strategy that enhances your life not takes away from it.

If you can personally visit the property to confirm, do so.

Learning from a successful person would help to make your business more "bullet proof".

if you have an LLC and both properties are under it, you just need 1 operating account.If both are under your personal, 1 bank account specifically for the rental is enough for operating.Security Deposits should always be a separate account altogether.

Personally, if your market tends toward the former condition (better/normal appreciation) I think it's a fairly safe deal looking at the long term, assuming infrastructure around you continues to support the idea of renting it.

-Attend at least 3 meet ups, in person, a month with my local REIA.

I personally left San Diego in 2017 and bought my home in Riverside County for $155,000.

For my personal education, which one insurance should I have?
