Welcome back @DeMarrius Payne  I find writing out my goals and things I need to accomplish in order to get there help me stay on path. 

I would still stay away from La Colonia and parts of South Oxnard then again there are parts of south Oxnard that could change with the Ormond shores project if that ever happens.  

So let's hope it does stay free because it really is a pretty good service.

I live right up the street and plan on staying here forever so my rentals are next door/close by.The two houses are grandfathered and if I want to replace them they give me a 30-day window to replace which isn't happening unless I go mobile which I do not want to do. 

It may be worth it to talk with the tenants and find out if there is something that could be worked out to keep them to stay if you didn't have any concerns with them while also adhering to your rules.  

I will happily stay in the past and focus on all the other renters.

Assuming the market stays the same, you want to be able to sell your primary residence in a year or two and make a profit (not just accounting for inflation or appreciation).

Be sure to check out the Ultimate Beginners Guide under the "Education" tab and check out the Podcasts.  

One advantage you give up by not staying local with your investment is your wife might be able to source good deals through her connections as an agent. 

You then do the work and they guide.
