Almost instantly I realized that I would be bored out of my mind without some daily tasks and something to make me feel I was being productive.

That movie instantly cured me of EVER being a landlord.  ;-)

Nothing major in renovation work but something you can buy at a discount and add instant equity.

The biggest thing I think I learned after a few years of doing this is to not overreact and not sweat the small stuff - don't instantly jump on somebody making a minor lease violation or minor behavior problem.   

I noticed this instantly during my first visit in December.

What that means, is I prefer a great cup, but will also drink the sludge from the day before warmed up in the microwave or instant if I have to!

It is tempting to go for the instant satisfaction of initial cashflow but for the average investor, you can build more wealth here in San Diego in the long term starting out with neutral or even slightly negative cashflow than investing in alot of other markets. 

No.That's the term, it's already part of the RE vernacular and is instantly translated by the listener when it's heard.

Just list it only on the S8 website and it will be snapped up instantly. 

But there's nothign like finding a deal with instant 60k equity that cashflows right away.
