Are you looking for cash flow/appreciation/a little of both?

And not to mention no stock matches the dividend rate one can get in real estate with such low risk/volatility. 20yrs ownership, oh-yeah, cash-flow on renting it would be HUGE now so it's easily comparable to a 20%+ monthly dividend, if not more.

Cheap entry with a solid cash flow.I would love to connect with others that are investing in rental properties in Blythe or other similar areas in Southern California to learn more.

Do you have cash reserves for capital expenses and improvements? 

Mostly due to the fact my spouse and I agreed on her to have zero involvment in any sort of RE investing (and its our home) I think once you have a good 6-12 months of reserve cash (operating expenses for your own life saved as a back up incase things go bad) save enough liquidity to get the ball rolling on your first invesment.

The $10,000 yearly maintenance fee is really hurting your cash flow, as it’s eating up all your profits.

Thanks in advance!

This will be negative cash flow if using sustained maintenance /cap ex.
