Those who are professional tenants and know how to play a landlord are the ones you really have to watch out for.

I thought you could only do that kind of value play on a big, commercial multifamily.

I waxed poetic about being 'retired' by now-- having 'systems' in place to do all the cr*p I basically have to do day in and day out.I traded my 9 to 5 for a 7 to 7 because I LOVE it, but my wife likes to needle me about my grand ambitions and wonderful plans for freedom and so we've sort of dubbed the phrase 'fool time' investor as a play on 'full time'.

Ideally I would like to find a wholesaler in Orange County to work with.
