For me its realatviley close to my primary location which I would like to be in decent driving distance for out of state investments.

They schedule with the tenant, drive there, document everything, they have hardware expenses, insurance, vehicle, etc. 

Meaning, can anyone show you where it says driving 30 miles per hour in a 35 MPH zone is legal?

Some mentees will act as a bloodhound for the mentor, knocking on doors, driving for dollars, scouring the internet, making cold calls, or performing other services that help the mentor find new deals.

I’m aware California is not the best market, with the restrictions and potential new tax coming up, etc, but we have personal reasons to invest there.With that said, we visited a lot of houses in the San Diego area and saw 2 that seem like a potential fit for us: one is a smaller 3 bedroom but a mile from the beach and the other is a 15-17min drive to the beach, but bigger with 4 bedroom and a little cheaper, which would allow us some cushion to invest on a hot tub or potential pool.

Why are you driving out there all the time?

Some of them are rockstars and have a drive in their job, those few that I know have provided me their database of open vouchers that need to be fulfilled and they are having a hard time.

Tax season drives me crazy - I am going to get a tattoo of a K-1 on my behind !! 

I did a lot of research, long term that’s a safe assumption.

If you just look at a place with no jobs and everyone has to drive 10-20 miles to work, these can be problematic if fuel prices rise or there is a recession.
