Aim for the spiders' food source, disrupt their living conditions, and get their eggs.

Food for thought. :)

Vibrant culture with good music, great food, friendly people. 4.

@Tam NguyenA couple tidbits as food for thought for you:CA does not recognize series LLCs. 

I have some great suggestions for food and drink if y'all decide to do that.

Yes, this is a people business and networking is crucial, but you also have to learn who are the opportunists and the wolves in sheep clothing.I understand that @Chris Piper 's suggestions are for those who are "broke" and even if a $100 was in the account, it would be used for food or to pay a bill.

Give yourself an out if the person is unnaturally messy and expects you to clean up after him/her in the common kitchen and/or provide food / consumables.

If it's not shelter, food, or transportation, don't buy it.

Work with your contractors, help them get supplies, and bring them food.

Rather than risking your money and spending hundreds or thousand of hours of your time trying to build a portfolio where you own a bunch of hungry dinosaurs you have to feed and clothe for a few hundred dollars a month you would be better off cleaning tables in a fast food restaurant for a few years with your spare time, save more cash to get into even some small multi-units, earn 500% to 1,000% more on your money with multi-units and save yourself from the grief of having to pay $6,000 to $12,000 to clean, paint and -re-rent a single family home that has minimal returns.YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO DO THE MATH and stop listening to wannabe so-called experts who did one real estate deal and figured out they could make more money by selling their story than they really can with their real estate investing.I see too many amateurs risking their money when they don't have real estate experience, no business skills, nor trade skills.
