Heck I can make way more than 17 bucks in just 5 min doing day trading with that same 2500!

@Aaron K.Where is the bang for the buck outside of Orange County?

It was great, felt kind of like being in college and living with friends again, except everyone was much more mature and respectful of each other's space and privacy.

Live there for a year or 2 while I update it a bit and then rent it out and cash flow a couple $100 bucks or so a month and take the equity and purchase my 2nd deal.

It might be a good idea to be conscious of that and deal with a few bucks less until this pandemic thing clears up. 

It would be virtually impossible to hide from my tenants that I am the owner unless I dealt with them personally under some kind of assumed name or put all the properties in an LLC.But I introduce myself as the OWNER, my lease identifies me as the LANDLORD, and I conduct myself as if the buck stops with me.

The umbrella policy is a couple hundred bucks, and if you get sued, the insurance company is incentivized to hire a lawyer to protect you and keep them from having to pay out a large settlement.

Say I'll give you $200 bucks for a line by line and a schedule.

I completely understand investors looking to save money and get the biggest bang for your buck.

Sellers (who aren't facing a loan maturity) will settle for anything less than pre-COVID prices, convinced that the market will return to normalcy post-virus.
