I'm located in GA.Could you at least tell me where to get started?

Some Bay Area investors I know are: house hacking, rent by the room, mid-term rentals, STR (depending on your location AirBnbs may not work).

Focus on properties that align with your criteria—whether it's cash flow, equity potential, or location—and stay consistent, even when setbacks occur.

Landlords can enter a tenant's property for a variety of reasons, including: Making repairs or replacements Responding to a tenant's request Removing unauthorized window coverings Preventing waste of utilities Changing filters, testing, or replacing smoke detector batteries Inspections Helping with an emergency inside the unit Posting a notice of eviction"Research your state laws because some of your comments indicate a lack of understanding of the landlord/tenant laws where you are operating (like threatening the tenants to keep the security deposit if they don't respond to you, I doubt that is actually a valid reason to keep their deposit, or evicting for late payments, or charging the tenants for your warranty repairs because you missed your 11 month inspection window which was your responsibility, and it looks like your lease says you can charge up to 18% interest for unpaid fees, is that actually legal?).

One of my rental properties is located in a low-income area, which presents unique challenges in finding suitable tenants.

I have been investing in Indy since 2017 and your strategy would be the determining factor on location and the type of house you'll buy!

You might want to start investigating methods for locating off-market opportunities that appeal to you.

Only difference was the location and value of the property.

Is there strong demand for rentals and is it potentially possible to rent a room for 1500-2000 depending on the location (slightly cheaper than a studio from what I've been seeing which is how I priced my rooms in AZ)?

Screening tenants well and then a security deposit or credit card hold process in place will limit liability.
