I have been reading and listening to real estate investing books everyday for a while now and it is something i want to pursue. 

@Tannia CastroWelcome to the exciting world of rental property investing, Tannia!

Can you help me evaluate an investment case?

If the property can service the debt at 90% leverage between a senior 1st and the seller second, you're looking at a good investment!

Socal is tough to find investment properties that work.I have a great realtor in Sacramento that can find properties that cash flow.

In evaluating seller financed notes, there is always a balance between redeeming and non-redeeming factors. 

Buy the property you want to own the most 10 years from now...and house hack before you buy an investment property. 

Securing a good lender can greatly accelerate your real estate investing journey.

@Polat Caglayan very ambiguosu question, but read the helpful info below to guide your next set of questions:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Speed of building a portfolio (Cash-on-Cash return is a factor here)?
