Would love some guidance or to hop on a video call and pick someones brain.

Or do you just use realtor and ask video tour?

There're such videos on YouTube and other platforms.Unfortunately we cannot direct people there because BiggerPockets would consider it self-promotion and penalize us for trying to share this knowledge.Would you by chance offer such things Michael? 

Pace’s videos just screaming - marketing!

This is relevant because CA is tenant friendly state.  

I'm familiar with the BRRRR method as its so common in so many books, podcasts, youtube videos nowadays but I'm not really motivated for that type of investing.

However, I dont post video content. 

Purchased for kids future/college fund (maybe relevant maybe not) Mortgage rate is 4.4% currently paying $1149 a month (including taxes/Insurance)Currently rents for $1550 (room for upping rent to $1600+)In the 2 years Ive had it, Ive added a roof(insurance claim),new windows, new bathroom, plumbing.

Take pics many videos, then call city code enforcement for inspection.Also, look into your state & local laws about escrowing rent for lack of maintenance and follow the rules EXACTLY.

HIGHLY recommend you STOP watching S8 YouTube videos and spend more time here reading posts about S8 to learn reality not hype.
