Interest rate is at 3.5% so I'm not going to refi.

Also house hacking gives you the best interest rates and ability to purchase with little money down. 

I'm just so doggone curious why my response rate on my postcards was a whopping 10% in California City but pretty much 0% in Lancaster and Palmdale.

@Gregory Frisoli,Your circumstances were shared by a lot of investors these days (with rates where they are). 

Realtors are independent and set their own rates. 

I have an escalating rate if people don't vacate on time not sure if you can do that in California.

I would also look into rental rates in your area, vacancy rates, and the demand.

You can also get commercial closers for the common door that slow the rate of closing.

I think with proper education and guidance you’ll excel at a much faster rate and save a lot of money in the long run.

Also, you won’t find a long term rental with a 10% down loan that isn’t going to be cash flow negative with todays rates and property values, especially if you’re not self managing.2) STR will net more but to do a great STR, you need to put the cash into the property to make it a top listing.
