Finding deals outside of California can definitely open up new opportunities, especially given the cost of living and market dynamics in the state.When looking for properties in other states, consider focusing on areas with strong rental demand, economic growth, and population increase.

Is there a better company to go with or am i missing USAA’s definition of “renovations”?

To choose the correct path for any particular business a number of questions need be answered first1.

It seems like the shortest path to cash-flow with the less out of pocket expense. 

When I find something worth pursuing I'll definitely reach out! 

If not, I most definitely would reach out to the tenant, introduce myself and ask if they are going to be out by the 31st or the 1st, I would communicate  to the tenant as if I know they were told they are expected to leave, otherwise you may find they "do not know" they need to leave even if they actually know they need to leave....In the case they claim they are not aware they need to leave, you would need to follow the laws in the state you purchased the property, usually you can find that info on the states judicial branch or speak with a landlord tenant attorney. 

With a 7% interest rate and a high HOA, it could definitely help your cash flow in the long run, especially if you’re looking for passive income to reinvest later.

Hi Eric,Great question—estimating operating expenses can definitely be tricky, especially for items like maintenance, CapEx, and make-ready costs that vary widely between properties.

Awesome @Brady Morgan I will definitely check out your YT channel.

I'm currently with an investment brokerage at the moment but I definitely want to end up as a investor in the end
