They're barely, if at all, doing investor loans these days.

So you will end up with a rookie that will do it for cheap and cause you to lose your EMD or a discount shop that will barely answer your phone call. 

As long as you’re careful and track them and pay them off : )  Would it be smart just to get a card that I barely spend on just to improve my credit? 

Am a NY licensed contractor who moved out here to LA county barely a year ago.. my CA contractor license is still pending.

If a PM is doing the bare minimum to stay in business, they are likely doing the bare minimum to manage your property. 

The listing agency is saying it would be about $20,000.00 per month to borrow that much but considering you should be able to get a bare minimum of $1,250.00 each unit per month, and probably more, there is some cash flow that could be made.  

Values have shot up and rents have not kept pace, and if you have to finance your properties, after all is said and done, you are likely barely cash flowing at all, in the long term.  

While many people my age are barely surviving, or still living at home, I took huge risks, saved diligently, read everything I could get my hands on.

Since you are just graduating college you may already realize that it's not what you know, but who you know (as a personal note, I had college friends that were barely passing their classes however they ended up with really good paying jobs due to "who they knew").

You can hit up a hostel for $80/day to save money if that's you but those are usually for crack heads.All that being said, I purchased a unit in 2016 for 250k and it's barely worth that 10 years later.
