Ks Yoak picked 2 terrible tenants on one of my properties that ended up costing me over 15k in repairs over the past 2 years: they didn’t care: they said they would help me with the repairs, but they won’t send you a break down of the repairs: they send you a paragraph with a total cost for repairs at the bottom.

From my own eyes redacted took a 2 week break while a new studio was being built, during that time Clayton did mobile shows and we noticed European plates on cars then freeway signs from the interstate system, I am very familiar with these we lived there for 65 years, tune in to redacted on you tube, they talk about living in Portugal and no longer do.

Let's break this down, shall we?

I told him that if we can hang on and break even right now, then that's a win. 

In this market I'm not looking to really cash flow, but want to at least break even until I can refi with better rates and value add.Where/what would you suggest to look at in San Diego right now?

When I went through this process, I found guides like this one super helpful for breaking down steps and understanding what to expect.

Not enough current income to move the needle, but all the knowledge required to learn and, if you're self-managing, the always-present "the tenant could move/break/have problem any minute of the day" possibility. 

It can be complicated at times, but breaking the overall process down in to smaller pieces and taking them on one at time definitely simplifies the process.

Problem with many of them I see this far north is November thru March they kinda sit or you have to discount the daily rate so much that you only might break even.
