I am interested in getting into the commercial market years down the road, it sounds like such a daunting subject...

My passion is to invest in real estate as well as provide my level best in assisting others with their Real Estate needs.I look forward to engaging and being involved in reading/analyzing as many blogs - books - podcasts - personal experiences to which can help benefit me and others positively within the realm of the Real Estate industry.Thank you for taking the time and reading my post.

Sounds like we are in the same boat and have similar goals.

Ok, sounds like it might be better if I wait a year till I have $150k in cash - then I can operate at a higher price point by buying $100k+ houses.

Does this sound like a solid strategy and dodoes anyone have any other advice?

Yes contractors charge more in the Bay Area than other places in the country but $200k sounds reasonable.

Sounds great.

Initial License Training at Nuc Plants have about a 40% fail rate.What can I do to not sound like an affiliate marketer?

Sounds to me like normal wear and tear from them living in the house (probably kicking the screen or something stupid), should be up to the tenant to keep the property (the screen) in good condition.

@Andreas Galloper that sounds good to me.
