When I had 10 single family, that was more work than the 86 front doors I presently own in your neck of the woods. 

I've been a hub employee at UPS since 2005 and after two back injuries in two years, I'm looking for a better way to support my family.

Ping me if you ever get lost in our neck of the woods.

They smell like diesel fuel and have a scorpion neck tat.

Most landlords civil liabilities are in personal injuries on the property, (Get insurance), property defects, (insurance), and UD's and trying to get them out of the property.

As far as bringing in new homes I'd have to really be convinced to do something older than 1980 because they generally just need too much work.We'll have to make sure to connect if we're ever in eachother's neck of the woods.

You're about to be running a rental business, and you don't have any of the corporate protections, so insurance against injury, property damage, etc. is a must have.

An example is a new offering I looked at recently in your neck of the woods buying an apartment with well over half the return coming in the form of appreciation in 5 years.To each his own, of course, and many like the diversification you can achieve with multiple $5k investments in various deals.

Unfortunately I can't help you with your search in San Diego, but if you're ever in my neck of the woods (Chicago!)

This neck of the woods is street by street.
