i would advise against just sending a contract for her to sign out of the blue.

I only invest in blue chip stocks with dividends so it's pretty low risk.

I'm currently living in Los Angeles/Orange Cty, and I want to get into buy and holds to generate cash flow/rents.

The most populated areas such as the Silicon Valley, San Francisco Bay area, southern California from Los Angeles to San Diego all have markets that are growing.

I am located in the Los Angeles area and would preferably want to stay relatively local (So.

I use a Dell laptop, a RAM no drill laptop mount, a 500 watt power inverter I got at Walmart, and an HP inkjet all in one printer/copier/scanner on the back seat with blue tooth.

Diversity is important, so in my particular case, I tend to aim for keeping app 70% of my portfolio in better areas/properties, to ensure a steady and reasonable flow of income, and get more "adventurous" with the other 30% (blue collar/industrial areas), which allows me to make bigger leaps and bounds when things go well, and doesn't hurt me too badly when those tougher tenants turn up (and they always do at some stage :)), since I've got a good base to cover those vacancies when they occur.

I was wondering if anybody had any idea as to what it would roughly cost to install a meter, and run wires for the washer and dryer in Los Angeles County?
