Meanwhile, the U.S. needs 145,000-200,000 new jobs each month to keep up with population growth, spurred by increased immigration.ConclusionWhile job market momentum has slowed, it's not breaking.

I was born and raised in San Francisco and ran into those same issues back in 2021 when I first started.

Offer them one months free rent or offer them to allow them to break the lease and move out.

I'll check into the subscriptions. 

Not sure what your budget is, but if you’re looking for an affordable place to get started in and don’t mind a little cash flow, Chattanooga may be worth a look—I definitely second what @Tim Ryan is saying about the city.If you’re willing to venture into nearby states, there are plenty of similarly affordable markets in Alabama, Georgia, and the rest of the Sunbelt as well.

I do not like this as obviously if a business account is only accumulating rent from 1 property, it wouldn't accrue the cash in each as quickly as it would if all of the rents were funneled into one account.. and it makes paying the bills a bit of a pain on each of the properties as I am having things done to the properties, lawn care, etc.. constantly has me making owner investment deposits into each to cover initial expenses associated with the properties.. etc. 

Sometimes in CA it's difficult to show positive cashflow because the property valuations are so high compared to the rental income, but it is defiantly something to look into.

This way we each had something into the deal. 

I do not have property management experience but am looking into courses.

MichaelAlways good to bump into you.
