It is solving a short term vacancy problem, I will keep the group informed as to how it works in the long haul.

@Troy Fisher I attended a meeting at Heaton Dainard last night which was pretty informative, and have signed up for a number of meetups in the area that are listed on meetup.com.  

For cash flow long term, look for areas with good population growth, low unemployment, low cost of entry (midwest areas are good) and good rents. bigger pockets has a bunch of good information for you, (You can get in for $75-100K)Im in Temecula, not far from you.  

You will find a lot of great information along with good and knowledgeable people that are willing to answer any of your questions. 

What information do I need to gather from the agent / seller, and what additional due diligence do I need to do when evaluating this property versus when we evaluate SFR & Duplex?

Hi All, What a great site, I'm glad to have discovered Bigger Pockets thanks to a quick drop down the virtual real estate information rabbit hole!

When looking at a possible property to invest in, sometime the pro-forma provided doesn't show accurate information.
