How do you feel about the westside community reaction especially after pushing out some of the large box shops in the past?

The guys you see working on the large erections of steel at a petrochemical refinery.

The other tough decision was to partner with other syndicators as a means of gaining traction and getting experience on large deals. 

We have a few rentals currently are trying to figure out the best way to scale that makes sense.

Take into account RE taxes, Mortgage interest, charitable donations, large medical expenses, ect...compare it against 2017's total.If you took a look against the rental but used the proceeds for personal use- IE to pay off your personal residence the interest would not be deductible as a business expense. 

I would let them know that an eviction is not just another collection item on their credit and it will be a very large red flag for future landlords and other credit grantors.  

I am sure it could be and every property manager and some scaling up would agree.

However I regularly see new people coming in, Large national players as well as small guys, and they get crushed.

If you submit an offer during owner occupancy only period and do not plan to occupy the home as your primary residence you are running a large risk and would recommend against it.I've heard of investors that did this, then got told on by another investor that was looking at the same property.

If you want to scale up without having a high leverage of debt, in my opinion, BRRRR is the best way to do it. - You get your cash back - you will have around 20% equity on each deal when you refiGiven that buying a distressed property and refinancing take you 6 months because of the seasoning period, It is still better than saving money each month to buy another property.
