If I find the success I seek, I would like to go back to my second homes Minneapolis and Los Angeles in the future.

They are in the mid $100k and are about 10%-15% from 2007 in good neighborhoods.This isn't a bet on appreciation as they still cash flow but moreover future planning/selling.

Also that doesn’t leave any wiggle room to have a property manager take over one day in the future.

I do hope to be a valuable contributor to this community in the future.

Also, I'd be interested in attending a future lunch, but it looks like you must be a member of KREIA to know the secret location?  

In the future just modify your lease to address this situation.

. $150 of that goes toward property management fees (which I currently do myself), $200 goes toward future CapEx savings, and $250 is true cash flow.

For now, just one but the potential for multiple properties at once is in the future plans.

With lack of guidance and inherent truths about roadblocks and pitfalls, it may be fair to say that your path might be more so intertwined and twisted,Unmarked roads, no street signs, and U-turns are in your future. 

There's hope that the definition of accredited investors will change in the near future.
