Do you think the things I listed are worth it for my return?

She's not returning my phone calls. 

Then show them the property, then screen anyone who returns a completely filled-out application.Pre-screening includes making sure they can afford the rent, have decent credit, no evictions, no criminal convictions, etc.

Would like to connect with local Real Estate professionals and investors in the area before I return to California this weekend.

However, the advantage is that I can use leverage from the bank and get a high return. 

Returns of 13.8% and Average Net Annual Cash Flow of 9%.

Those will probably be the areas where you get the best returns. 

The cash on cash returns vary from 10- 14.5% so it just depends on the property and the area.

The potential rate on return is great with 2 of the units already rented out.

Some people want the high returns, but they're willing to put up with a lot more headache like high tenant turnover.
