I am still learning about the market in Sacramento, and would love to gain any insights that you can provide to help me through the start of my journey. 

I am new to this and I am willing and ready to learn.

Find someone who is very good at what you want to be doing, and learn from them. 

Lessons learned?

You're in the right place to learn about real estate investing.

You can always pick those up after the lease ends via a judgement in court - you will have the same odds of collecting unpaid rent (close to 0).Sometimes we take it personally when folks do stuff like pay late every month - landlords live longer when we learn to not take things personally.

It’ll be obvious that someone was learning how to paint as they went and you’ll have to pay more than a normal paint job would cost to fix it later (if you even can, some painting mistakes can be really hard and expensive to fix). 

Now if I could only learn to admit my errors to my wife....

I would love to connect and learn more about your experience.

As someone who also recently joined, I will say there is a ton of information you can learn on here which is super exciting!
