Unfortunately, my experience has been problematic, to put it mildly:* Communication: There were significant communication issues, including difficulty scheduling calls, which is still an ongoing problem.* Additional Charges: Jenny requested that I deposit on her checking account an additional $20-25k for her to purchase furniture, which I refused because I thought it was very strange, opting to give my card # instead.* Work Quality: Jenny never showed up to the house, she sent 2 people instead, she never mentioned she would not show up herself, she never asked for approval to send two others instead, they did not complete the job, and there were multiple unauthorized charges on my card.* Receipts and Expenses: Once I brought to Jenny's attention that we were 20k above budget, she refused for days to give me the receipts, saying that I needed to give her my credit card statement first.

Other areas nearby that are great include, Cardiff, Encinitas and Del Mar. 

There are kinds of guru's who will help you buy section 8 properties in a turnkey package including the rehab the property will need to get it rented.

More than happy to connect and strategize game plans any time.

For me, that includes late fees, the cost of the eviction filing, etc.

I've talked to lots of California and a few NYC investors that have lost money (including myself) who bought inexpensive properties in the Midwest mostly and a few in the South (Class C is volatile). - some strategies I've seen California investors use to lessen negative cash flow: house hacking, mid-term rentals (people temporarily displaced from home renovation or insurance reasons like fire), rent by the room, Short Term Rentals. - The ultimate house hack, live in the small ADU unit and rent out the two levels of the main house on AirBnb in San Francisco (I would have thought STRs are oversaturated in S.F. but it worked for them and they stay fully booked).

This should include potential rental income, expenses (including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and potential vacancy), and your expected return on investment. 

Clearly define terms, including an exit strategy, buyout options, and how proceeds will be split.

It’s been a game changer.

I like new construction since there isn't any deferred maintenance and the properties should be relatively maintenance free for the first couple years (although it's good to include maintenance/repairs in your pro forma and maintain reserves just in case).
