As long as you can find the cash, everything else is doable.

Of course with only 8 rentals, it's doable, because I'm self employed anyway and my time is not constrained by a 9 - 5 job.

That price point is doable.

Maybe not so much with A neighborhoods, because numbers definitely don't pencil out well there for cash flow, but everything else should be plenty doable.

It is still doable but I know many people will want to see some "skin in the game" or some kind of track record. 

My wife is a relatively new realtor (1.5 yrs,) but because she's on commission and I no longer have a W-2, not sure conventional loans (refinancing the properties) will be doable.

hey justin, I too am in the market for my first home in the Sacramento area and I have been looking at a couple properties in Sacramento and just north in the Marysville, Yuba City area and I have found quite a few properties selling around 70% of market value in almost move in ready condition, so asking 15/20% I think is very doable, the deals are out there it's just finding them, of course im very new to this whole thing so im hoping someone else will chime in also, to confirm or deny, I think you will make that happen if you stay at it, best of luck to you in all your ventures!!!

7% is doable, but you've got to know where to look.

Bay Area is definitely a tough market to get into but it's definitely doable.  

Sounds doable especially with further negotiations but I would be very jumpy about other developments.
