The wealthiest people in the world who invest don't make their billions in the stock market from dividends (equivalent to cashflow in real estate), they do so through appreciation of the value of the stock (similar to appreciation of real estate value).I would not advise to sell your place in San Diego to put it into a random low priced market that you are not familiar with strictly for cashflow, unless you absolutely need the cashflow. 

If you choose to act as Owner/Builder, you are the equivalent of a GC (but you can only do this on a home you own and reside in).

Cold calling yourself is the equivalent to handwriting postcards yourself.

In regards to friends and family lending, investing in this way doesn't align with their goals/lives so I'm not gonna ask them.Therefore I'm researching Subject-to in depth since it may allow me to buy good condition, cash-flowing properties with equivalent or lower risk than other approaches in my market.It seems to me that Sub-To requires good networking and sales skills in addition to a solid contract/real-estate attorney.

Experienced auditors WILL disallow these hours and your CPA may successfully be able to argue for a few hours (equivalent of a flight).Zillow browsing, podcasting, over the top travel will be disallowed 10/10 times.
