Then I read the Gary Keller book "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" which told me that my next level of investing is to receive a million a year from my investments.Processing all this information, I realized that it would take an absurdly expensive portfolio of San Diego properties to cash flow $1M/yr.  

Hi Trevor,  An awesome intro book is The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller.  

Hi all,I'm Gary from Austin, TX.

The drawback of it is it's technically a neighborhood of Gary, Indiana with all of the crime and financial issues that go along with it.After about 5 years of investing there, I decided it was unlikely things were going to change there and started selling.

Hey Gary, If you are looking for cash flow in these areas it will really depend on how much money you are prepared to put down.

You must read Gary Keller and Jay Papasan's book the Millionaire Real Estate Agent.

REI Goals- Complete class and obtain NJ license (End of Jan)- Read 8-10 books in 2015 (Reading 'The Millionaire Real Estate Agent' by Gary Keller now)- Get a website up and running ..

Look up Gary Keller's books which detail that model.

My wife and I love the "Million dollar investor" by Gary Keller you should give it a try.
