I have some ideas of what locations are affordable and appreciating in Southern California (Anaheim, Covina, Chino), so a little more research can definitely help me narrow it down more.Thank you again!

Narrowing down my options.

The Hallway that was created by adding a bedroom is 4 inches too narrow.

After you narrow down a few serious leads- the best of the best- interview them with a few questions regarding their experience, the scope of their duties, their rates, and ask about their most successful property management project to date.

My thought process is that this would be a convenient way to sort properties according to the “2% Rule” (ratio of monthly rent to property value) or other metrics to easily narrow down property searches by city, zip code, etc.

I wasn't even aware of few things that were mentioned in this thread.Based on the responses, I have narrowed it down to following possible options, based on my objectives and preferencesOPTION 1: Invest in a MF in outlying areas of bay area such as Central valley, Gilroy/Morgan Hill or Sacramento. 

I have been seeing a ton of conversations about stacking to narrow down motivated sellers. ie....

There are so many states which have affordable homes under $150,000 which makes it hard to narrow.

Hey Steven, before building your team I would suggest narrowing down a market of interest, if you're looking to invest out of state.

Once you narrow your list, drill down using J.
