Have a client that does sober living homes here in B/CS.

Thank you Eric.In addition to the rental properties, my wife and I have a paid off house, paid off car, and about $1.4m in retirement accounts, brokerages, and savings.We live in a HCOL area and our expenses are $9.5k per month even though we live pretty modestly.I set out initially to have real estate pay for at least some of my expenses in order to give me more freedom and financial security.Is your wife quitting too? 

Hey Dan, renting to a sober living operator can be a great idea.

do you have issues with the city if there are cars parked on the street or lawn?

The property manager can make or break you, it has to be a PM that is working in that space and is comfortable there.I agree with earlier comments to look in the front and back yards to see how many old cars, abandoned junk, or treasures that aren't treasures are piling up. 

I live in Phoenix and my business partner and I put on a couple local forums for investors like yourself to network.
