I just made sure when I ran the numbers like you, I accounted for the pm.  

It depends on the culture of the Town and more specifically the board.  

It's affordable (even now), researching it online is easy, the people/culture fits my personality, and travel is a breeze from the bay area. 

In my experience, the vast majority of people with emotional support animals are under 30 and lower income.This is just one example of how weak our culture has become.

I ran the calc for my 1st time and wondering where I could have gone wrong.

I get approach  sent letters daily etc etc by wholesalers out east .. waste of my time. .most are beginners don't know a deal from a barn door.If I lived out your way and that is the culture I would play.. but for me personally nope..

I ran the numbers, and it's a solid deal.

In both my wife's culture and mine, landlording is much, much more common as an investing strategy than speculating on the stock market.

When I ran out of space I moved everything into a self storage unit.

@Allyson Straka whenever I ran numbers with rent at 1% I just never saw how the property could  cash flow.
