For the mostly passive San Diego RE investor, you will need to be patient to achieve worthy return.  

It was vital that the house be in close proximity to the one who knew how to do the repairs, because of the technology of our current time theoretically Id be able to monitor and track progress with a trust worthy foreman whos on the job, performing repairs, managing subs, and moving the needle.

@Kevin Collins I apologize; my response came out a little rough around the edges and I assume that you certainly have done your homework prior too.... but that is a bit of my point... nothing will change when you go and work with a realtor and find investment properties yourself... figuring out what the property is worth IS PART OF THE ANALYSIS (if that's important to you) and because of this it is no different than other than you should now be verifying what the realtor will tell you it's worth as opposed to what the turnkey is telling you.

There's no accountability on tenant (simply fill out a bogus covid hardship form saying they cannot pay anything).Is it possible for me or some professional to do a credit report and dig up information on what their net worth is and go after their assets in the courts and the judge would force them to pay out of their checking / savings / retirement accounts?

They can test even the sharpest investors.Another buddy of mine, who’s based in Austin, had a client that found herself caught off-guard by a last-minute inspection delay on her Oregon property.. from what I’ve heard in Forbes, the local market’s short supply of exchange-worthy replacements didn’t help either.

@Craig Tom  fair enough  I live in Portland .. and yes its not chump change to someone.. but its not the end of the world for a 150 to 200k a year engineer  which are the vast majority of mid west investors from the bay area.. so I do apologize that I lumped all the engineers into one box.however if you look at some of the original threads on this company you will see.. the top 4 or 5 turn key operators chiming in.. and for whatever its worth..

That is not a benefit for you, nor any kind of evidence that they are worthy of becoming a resident.That issue aside, I would not allow someone with a recent eviction on my property unless the "unfortunate circumstance" was unlikely to recur AND they otherwise have a strong historical track record of making payments AND they would put down a very large security deposit.
