Every young aspiring entrepreneur should get a job in direct sales right out of high school, and learn to sell.

Cons:-Every late night guru tells all their aspiring real estate investor/wholesaler wannabes to market to these owners, so they are constantly bombarded with marketing-If you arent doing a search to find out if they own multiple properties you could be mailing to another investor—there are several investors here on BP that have talked about the hundreds of postcards, letters and phone calls they get on properties they would never sell at a discount-If the owner doesnt have someone locally who can give you access, getting in to see these properties can be difficult.

I enjoy the Pcars for now...of course, with escalating aspirations.

Most of us here have bigger aspirations for putting our money towards other investments, which aligns perfectly with the strategy because the money you put in can come right back out when the opportunity knocks. 

There is a reason many people, who can afford to do so, aspire to live in CA and especially the Bay Area.

Your return on equity just isn't high enough to justify holding it as a rental.Great that you aspire to get involved in real estate investing.  

I am now aspiring to engage in social entrepreneurship, so my business needs to make a profit, but also needs to have a positive impact on employees, contractors and customers/ tenants.

I usually rent to aspiring home owners and by renting M2M, this gives them the easy opportunity to move quickly if they find something they need to act upon.For me, if they can't pay rent and I have to evict them, likely I'm not going to get any satisfaction for the rest of my lease agreement, anyway. 

While my intentions are to do the  aforementioned,  i also hope to accommodate as many longer term renters that are aspiring to to make my house(s) their "home.

We also have many more tenants that working full time jobs, going to school, and have aspirations of not being on the program forever.
