Quick question: If your cash flow is pretty low, what is your plan for upkeep, upgrades, incidentals, etc. 

Make sure property is “self supporting” meaning sufficient income to produce some cash flow after operating expenses and debt is paid.If one does that, they are set up for a profitable long term hold.If one invests in a prudent manner and is never in a position where they have to sell, they ultimately win.The top or bottom of a market is never known until 6 to 12 months after the fact.I’m a long term investor - my capital is patient.Here’s a question to ponder:If you could buy a property today for $1M, knowing it’s value would drop to $950,000 over the next year but would be worth $1.5M in 5 years, would you buy it today or hope to perfectly time the market and get at $950,000?

Happy to answer any question you may have in the future. 

You can host your own open house but be aware of questions you get asked and what you disclose or fail to disclose.

My question is, as a resident of CA does it make a difference if I'm using an attorney/asset protection specialist in my home state or in the state where I own rentals?

Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions!

I'm not sure I quite understand your question.

My question is, how do I ensure squatters won't come back if I get the property?

So, it is not the question that the cleaning took an hour instead of two (as an example) so she should charge less.
