@Michael AndersonBeing an OC native, i would not go down the path of $800kish investment with limited down payment. just the principal and interest will surpass the monthly revenue in any southern california county at the current interest rates.Bring your savings up to 100k and then start your investing journey locally .

I'm a native Nashvillian - Commercial RE Broker, just picked up a nice little buy/hold residential property via MLS (by accident, really) - looking at more off market opportunities via networking & cold/warm calls.

The other was huge property insulated, impersonal and slow to react to needs of managers and thus tenants waited. 

I'm a native so the prices are... the prices but I too suffered sticker shock when moving from Millbury, MA (out near Worcester) to Newton, MA back in 2013. 

Most effective for me is a spreadsheet I adapted from Fortune Builders years ago.Being able to react quickly when a true opportunity arises is paramount in being successful in our market.Look forward to meeting with you and happy to answer any questions I can.

I'm so a Orlando Native.

Hi Graham, great to meet a fellow Perth native!

I am still wondering how someone believes in rent guarantee unless it's Govt or charitable organization.I wish you could have walked out of the deal the day appraisal didn't come out right, being CA native you don't want to be underwater on day one.Good LuckVivek

Hello David, I'm an Arkansas native replanted in New Jersey.

As a native Austinite it’s been amazing to watch all the growth in and around the city, especially over the last few years.
