- Do their rent comps make sense (quick web search)?

If you want to buy single family homes, and actively manage them then start looking into different regions with fundamentals that point to future growth (income growth, job growth, population growth etc).If you want to passively own them, then you should look into syndicators in regions and asset class that you think will perform well (southwest, southeast, midwest etc, and you can target multifamily, retail space, single family etc) and start finding operators that align.

Unfortunately, if we dig deeper in both the history of rent control and the economic fundamentals at play the idea of bringing this piece of legislation to solve rising rents single handily falls short of it’s intended results.⁣⁣Think of where rent control is currently in force and where the rental market is currently fairly open, think of cities like New York, Toronto, Vancouver, San Francisco etc.

The model may adjust over time as you learn more, but keep the core fundamentals in place to help you navigate your decisions.

I have a fundamental question on cash flow.

My goals were little different but fundamentally the same, this is how it involved for me. 

I’ve searched the web for a company that would take care of sending notices for late pays, notices for Taxes or insurance.

I would actually advise against trying to use private/hard money at this point simply because LA is so competitive in the flipping game, that I would rather you take your time to learn the fundamentals of real estate, establish contacts with good contractors, learn the local rules/laws, etc. before jumping in trying to flip a house with a crazy high interest rate from a hard money lender. 

I can find 20 wholesalers, 10 web developers, 8 lawyers and 3 ortho surgeons easier than a skilled electrician, plumber and framer. 

Youtube also has a lot of videos and there are tons of web resources available with general educational content, including ours - Education - Penn Capital
