I am studying it quite a bit.  

A second tech looked at it discovered these issues, corrected them and charged $134 and everything appears to be running smoothly.  

I'm starting out with next to nothing and I need to make a living while I learn the rules of investing so I'm studying hard to be an agent and hang my license under either a local brokerage (Georgetown Realty) or the big bad Keller Williams.

Do regular inspections and serve him 10-day notices for lease violations as you discover them.

I have studied the definitions, taken an exam prep class but I still feel as if im not as prepared as I should be!

As my business partner and I really started to study the market here in SA we noticed that the low end has a huge amount of potential. 

In the back of my mind I am a little worried though as I discovered this lady has done time for murdering her ex boyfriend with a handgun.

I been studying the market for two years and I think is time to bite the bullet.

Upon further research I discovered HUD took back the house from JP Morgan Chase after the owner died for the amount of 129,000 (when it was last purchased for 33k).

Yes, what you've quickly come to discover, as many others continue to do, is that the numbers sip,y don't make sense here in southern California (and most of the other cyclical markets around the U.S.).The rent-to-value ratios are just too low to get a decent rate of return.
