All in time I would estimate around 1 hour per rental per week when nothing weird is going on.

I might also think about to what extent the property needs capital expenses updates and see if I can't coordinate making some of those happen in time for new tenants and get closer to a 30+% increases on the rent. 

It will cost you more than $7,500 in time and education and mistakes.

just start off marketing to other investors that you know and then "in time" you will have an entire group of investors comming to view and buy "your properties." so take my advise and invest in your own website.GET THAT MONEY MAN!

I might look a little further out (like Pleasant Hill) if you really want to stay in that price range.

Because California based investors are conditioned to absorbent prices for real estate and costs of living, I have found they are pleasantly surprised to see that price points are lower, returns are higher, and the class of the properties is better in Georgia. 

Thats why its hard to given specific advice unless you become a client or we know intimate deals about your scenario.

Pleasant and would like to get more involved in investing in real estate.

We have had tenants use them to "bridge" themselves in times of hard ship.

I can not agree at this point in time that prices will go up next year.
