I have my primary home that I Airbnb occasionally (both a private room and the entire home) and I just bought a full-time out-of-state SFH to be a full-time rental. 

My partner owns a home in San Francisco and occasionally rents that as a vacation rental as well.

@Jessie Bienvenu Thanks for your input JessieI do my door knocking from 5 - 7pm Tuesdays, Wednesday and the occasional Thursday. 

I occasionally negotiate an NNN where landlord has an in house leasing agent handling negotiations, and my client (tenant) typically comes away with a much more favorable lease in that situation. 

My goal is to target single family rental property through auctions with the occasional quick sale/flip.

@Karen Lynn - I am going to echo what @Lane K. said and add that while you may be able to find the occasional cash-flow property, it is not possible to consistently add to your portfolio here.

occasionally the greater fool theory would take hold and someone would buy it at tax sale and an overage was created..

I think biggerpockets may move files occasionally and I posted this a while back.

You might also think about looking south and east of LA (Hawthorne, South LA, Cypress, Pomona), and keep your eyes peeled for the occasional deal that pops up in LA.

This could be as simple as meeting up for coffee occasionally to discuss deals.
