I would not evict if he were unemployed because I can absorb the loss and would not evict a tenant due to a COVID related issue.

@Mindy Jensen is right the bigger pockets you have the easier it is to absorb the unexpected.  

My thought process is evolving daily as I read and absorb new information. 

I am absorbing all I can and taking notes on the whole application process but have hit a snag.

You can buy your first few investment properties with 20% down, so a 50k purchase would involve a 40k loan, should be no problem as long as you have decent credit and debt-to-income ratio that is reasonable (35% or less would be good since you'll initially have to absorb the entire PITI of the rental property loan in the "debt" of your ratio, and 40-45% is typically as high as banks want to go.).The PITI on a 40k loan should only be around $300, depending on taxes in your area, so add that to your current monthy debts, then divide by your gross mthly income.

The A and neighborhoods fared a bit better with price declines being more absorbable.

I really like this because I can go at my own pace, absorb and process the information, and then act.I started with 2 books:- Long Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene- Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat by David GreeneBetween both books, you'll learn probably about 80% of what you need to know to start.

also personally i am expecting a new wave of migration to texas from california due to these 500K white collar job losses in California, either they move to sacramento/seattle/vegas/texas or go to India.... if there's new uptick of migration to texas that would absorb the supply, but how fast it is, good to see... 

It effectively collects hair etc debris & absorbs staining from oils etc.

If they don't bother to read or absorb what is being told to them, will they end up complaining about everything under the sun once they're in.Or if a tenant says the deposit is too high, will they be able to afford the rent down the road?
