That being said, you have a duplex with tenants who probably know the dogs and have been aware of their presence.  

I got a degree in business administration and digital marketing, but didn’t land a job in that area.

It might be in your best interest to beef that one up or do another one and build a digital portfolio.In addition to that you can take your capital and invest as a passive Limited Partner in big commercial multifamily deals (the only ones that are safe) Kind of like what Grant Cardone is doing but there are plenty of other one's like FundRise or your local real estate investor.

Downside of that is you're exposed to the volatility of the stock market.The next thing I'm going to research are syndicated commercial deals, it seems like with the right network of sponsors it should be feasible to achieve double digit returns in a completely passive way.If/when there will be a market correction, I will be looking into buying SFR in my backyard (Northern CA) so I can assemble my team through BP references and always be within driving distance in case something happens and I have to manage my own investment.

I agree with Embert Madison, that picking something up near CSU Bakerfield or CSU Fresno could be a good move due to the constant presence of college students wanting to rent.  

In this digital age it's really difficult to know who actually is good at a thing vs who is really good at marketing themself for that thing, it's true. 

Our world demands excellent communication, organizational skills, technical savvy, social media presence, tight legal documents, flexible and often very late work schedules, financial acumen, and much more.
