It’s so nice being part of a “family” to watch my back!

Make sure there's several and that there's diversity.

When a lease is ending for any reason, I send along a nice move out letter.

I did say the commercial side is a nice transition to running things like a business but the predictability of a 30yr mortgage fixed rate is very comforting long term.

@Brian Reynolds  I am one of the many Californians who ended up moving out here although it had nothing to do with the economy/prices/ or jobs (it as a nice surprise when I was employed day 1 of moving though). 

Before you message me asking why I chose them, it’s mainly for me the price of entry, amount of renters, good purchase price to rent ratio, and diverse economy.

Sellers love hearing they can do nothing and get a nice check in a few days. 

I to be honest don't know if that price is ok my numbers work out great but I am a noob and could very well have numbers wrong.I know normal duplexes in the area sell for 30k less then this but most of them look like they are in need of updates pretty seriously. this looks like it would attract very nice tenants with proper screening granet counter tops excetera.So with me living in the studio I wrote the rents as 850 each so 1700 total my morgage would be around 619 Now taxes are absolutly atrocious in this area 486 ouch insurance I put as 1000 a year not sure if that would be accurate need help there.so about 560 total between the two.

Which if you are in a nice enough area always try to go for percentage rent as an owner but at the same time make sure you are not putting to much stress on the tenants.
