I have seen plenty of of people live in homes I would never live in

A lot of people will agree, but I did want to provide some context for counter arguments that people may have that you should be prepared for: 1.

You do not need a license (like a brokers license) to manage your own properties.However, check your town to make sure you don't need a business license.In Tacoma, WA, as an example, even if you have a property manager, the owners themselves also need to have a Tacoma business license.If you hire a property manager, they will need a brokers license to manage other people's properties.Good luck!

Hoping to meet a small group 3-6 people that can brainstorm, ask questions, and help hold each other accountable for our goals. 

I understand nobody can predict the future but I just wanted a general idea of where people think the fundamentals are strong.On researching the neighboring markets, I also found the Oswego market interesting.

So, for items #1 and #3, I would talk to them directly first because I like to treat people like people and communicate directly about anything.

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

Most people won't, so you can eventually have what they can't. 

how do people scale their subject to deals

Those are the people you want to talk with about this.
