@Matthew Watsoncold calling for me lately has been less volume and more direct intentional calls to decision makers.

I don’t say I’m the owner because when the tenants know you are the decision maker.

Buy a $10 coffee maker at Walmart and make your own coffee.it is extremely important to live below your means.While I would say this as "spend less than you make" this is the absolute key practice to accumulate any wealth. 

Law and judge be the decision maker and ultimately he will have an eviction in his records.

Most of the those people are in short supply, electricians, plumbers, etc can make really good money if they're hard working.  

Definitely catered to the wife and kid - so I could focus my energy and money elsewhere.Penthouse unit, valet parking for us/guests, indoor/outdoor pools & hot-tubs, kids playroom in the building, daily breakfast/coffee, laundry service, gym w/ included work-out classes daily, etc.Will be nice when I'm off work to go down the elevator to take my son swimming or to the kids playroom so he can lose his mind there instead of in our condo.The mortgage on this place would be astronomical considering the HOA fee associated with these types of all-inclusive buildings and the amenities.

The first building will be 100 maker studios/start up spaces.

The renter recently moved out and as it is not a good money maker, we are going to sell it while the market is still higher in our area.The renter didn't exactly trash the house, but her dog(s) did.

I am an artisan pizza maker.

It might not be a dream career but it could get you where you want to be if you're serious about investing.In the meantime consider getting a restaurant job.. and I don't mean at McDonald's, you live in CA so I'm willing to bet there are places nearby you could make really decent tips as a server.
