Part of me thinks the main reason I did this was to see if I could pull off the double dip on these houses. :-)Either way, just curious to see what people think since this is so completely out of the norm from my renting philosophy......

Mainly wholesaling right now and looking for my first few rentals to buy and hold.You mentioned that you ventured into subject 2 deals.

I understand that the cash flow is not spectacular, but after looking for 4+ months, this doesn't look so bad for Metro San Diego area (I also have limited cash reserves, so I can't put down a 50%+ down payment to make some of the better properties cash flow).My main question is whether it's worth buying a really nice property in a bad neighborhood as a long-term investment.

Mainly local banks and credit unions for the small balance stuff.Hope it helps.

I guess my main goal would be to invest in real estate for cash flow, not so much capital gains.

I am interested in remodeling work, that's mainly my idea...But where to start?

That's my main focus now.When I'm ready to retire from the flipping/spec job, my plan is to acquire long term rentals (mostly commercial) that; 1) require little management from me, 2) great locations with better chances of appreciation, 3) Have lower yields because of the first two points.

After high school I enlisted in the Air Force and spent over 8 years in the Civil Engineering Service, mainly working on heating and air conditioning systems but volunteering for any open classes I could attend.
