A reputable - reliable - affordable contractor(s) is very important, too.

Continuing this for 3-5 years while working two jobs, living tight, saving as much as possible and throwing it at investments so that I can then be reliably making 30-50k by around 4-5 years in.  

Been reading numerous personal finance books and lurking BP for a few months now, but the savings are finally shaping up, so I've decided to take it more seriously :) I'm a recent college grad from the bay area who's been in industry for about 1-2 years now and I'm really interested in setting up a positive, reliable cashflow for myself to reach financial independence.

Preferable a reliable company that has reasonable fees.

Gathering from the input i have received from all of you guys, it seems going for B neighborhoods for both ease of rehab on first project and a more reliable rent pool.
