Houses out here cost average $1.3M and rent for $4,000 per month. 

I performed audit work in low income housing. 

Don't be discouraged by the lower returns—house hacking is often about long-term wealth-building, and your primary residence can offset some of those mediocre numbers.Make sure you're accounting for local trends and realistic rents—sometimes expected rent growth is overly optimistic, or costs like repairs might be underestimated.

I currently have 2 vacant houses I purchased just over a year ago listed for sale on the MLS but no bites as of yet.

Welcome to BiggerPockets Dan and good luck investing!

Its a slow learning process if you havent been in the lending, investing or real estate world before.

I am well versed in pretty much every facet of Real Estate: house hack, LTR/MTR/STR, multifamily, and fix and flips primarily.Aside from that I am also (somewhat) a serial entrepreneur, having started and sold multiple business' over the last 15 years.I also meet with 20+ professionals every week, through referral groups, meetups, and just 1 on 1 sessions trying to get to know people and make connections.I would love to chat with you if you are looking to meet people and get more information about real estate in San Diego!

Hi there :)I'm brand new to real-estate investing but motivated to take action and start gaining momentum on my dreams of building a portfolio of properties. 

There are few places as iconic to visit or invest as the Pacific Coast in the US and the coastal stretch of Oregon is no exception.

All of this from an investment of next to nothing.Take what you will from this post, if anything.
