That assumes at least 1 garage spot and/or convenient secure parking and some yard area.  

i guess my question is, other than calling agents, who i might add aren't that much of a help, how else do you guys find your sweet spot, areas that are selling, when you don't live in the area.

I look forward to meeting new connections as well as learning more about the industry, particularly commercial, flipping, and rental properties being my main interest.

I was there by 3 pm with my 3 kids in tow to take a peek (I have my RE license, so I can have on-the-spot access when I need it).  

On the one hand managing 5  or 6 properties is the sweet spot for being able to qualify for all things residential and is easily doable for a busy person; on the other hand it is becoming tougher because you don't have the benefits of scale where the income becomes more significant and helps you through a vacancy or 2.

I handle all of Central Texas and there are some nice spots for cash flow, nice spots for appreciation, etc.  

I hold a masters of science in accounting, and i have experience in the health care industry & Banking.

I have very big aspirations for myself so I want to start in the right spot and grow as fast as I can from there.Any tips and info would be greatly appreciated!!

., all I came up with were Operating Agreements detailing the structures of LLCs, and other agreements involving the trucking industry........not relevant stuff.  

Hi,I thought that a good first post would be an introduction and saying hi to everyone out there.I live in the San Francisco bay area, working in the tech industry with a strong desire of doing something that produces some more cash than what my bank savings account does (almost negative).Came in here with the desire to learn more about REI after reading Brandon Turner's "The Book on Investing In Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down" book, which I read after reading Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".
