I live in beautiful San Diego, CA and I want to buy a rental property but have heard that the San Diego rental market is not very strong for investors right now.

The beauty about private money partnerships is that there is no set structure that has to be achieved.

For investors with slightly different goals than you/Ben, the “$250-$300 is all that works” statement simply is too simplistic.To start splitting hairs, ROC isn’t the only metric that matters- time and effort matters too- popping in a high tech Alexa enabled thermostat is a quick repair, but adding a backsplash takes a decent amount of time, even if the rental premium and cost were the same.

Tax deduction going in...tax free coming out...would be beautiful.

Something like this instead:Brief desccriptions here <Beautiful bed 1.5 bath home with LOTS of new updates looking for someone to call it home!

We're looking at Murrietta (about 45 minutes southeast of us) as a beautiful 2,000+ sqft.

The beauty of the real estate business is that you typically won't have a "boss" telling you that you HAVE to take on more clients.  

I'm originally from Seattle, but currently live in Houston with my husband (who is originally from Detroit), our beautiful 1-year old daughter, and our two scruffy terrier-mix-mutts.

I wish I could keep this beauty..but just found out it belongs to the maintenance guy for helping tenants move out since the property doesn't have a golf cart.

What you should pragmatically expect instead is that you'll hire a contractor who offers you a so-so price and promises you the earth and sky, shows you beautiful photos of work he's supposedly done in the past, but ends up turning in something that doesn't quite meet your expectations or design vision.
