Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

You already covered this, but I would avoid investing here in CA because of the terrible landlord laws.

For anyone that hasn't used Doorvest, it's a simple website where you put a $1000 deposit and they send you curated list of houses they buy that need renovation, renovate, and then tell you a final purchase price along with guaranteeing things such as first year rent will be 100% covered by them even if they don't find tenants.

Personally, I have a stable long term W2 job which can cover my family’s expenses.

The plan is to live in part of the home and rent out the other rooms to cover the mortgage and generate some income. 

I've hired cleaners in house & covered for some local owners for a couple of months while they were out of town, and it's not very straightforward. 

They were charging another homes repairs to my home and wasn’t caught until I threatened legal action.I reached out to the new person who was managing my property to inquire about a lease renewal for my tenants and make it clear I needed to increase the rent to cover expense increases on the house.

I got caught in the storm last night but it looks like just off and on rain - should be OK most of the time and plenty of cover at the resort when the rain hits

I would rather own 6 to 10 high quality appreciating properties than 20 to 30 lower priced rentals (e.g. replacing all those roofs, HVAC, all the tenants, turnover and property management fees).

If you are buying a house of any kind with mechanicals and roofs, you need reserves.
