So, get busy on your listings. 

If you want cash flow, start or buy a business.

When picking a market, I would look for things like population and job growth, rental demand, and economic diversity—basically, is the area attracting people and businesses?

PM me if you want the contact (they deserve some business for their great support, but if I do not close I have no need for the insurance).Good luck Thanks Dan,  where in CA is that property at very good price for what your describing !!!

However, that was a fluke.Warranty companies are in the business of making money.

In the latter case, I would still use QB to enter info provided by the 3P servicer and to maintain my general ledger for the lending business.

  :)   There's so many Gurus pitching this and that without mentioning the risks to them and to the buyers.So glad to hear re your business model being fair to the buyer.   

Growth can kill a business just as quickly as poor cash flow. 

So some may say $30k is not worth it but I know others that launched successful syndication businesses from it.

I know I would get bored with not having a job or business to do lol
