I have used the tools available and I think I found a good rental with an awesome cash flow.

I found them more interesting and informative than the San Diego BP social. 

Personally, I have found this middle ground to be the most challenging.

They are usually obligated for the remaining term of the lease or until a replacement tenant is found, whichever comes first.

@Scott Fehrenkamp I found one in East Austin that more than breaks even.

Interestingly, I've found my condos in downtown Toronto have done the best in terms of appreciation, rents etc. 

Happened to me not too long ago, I found a 12 month 0% financing for 12 month credit card.

So i hired a property management company to take over while I moved away. the tenant moved in in May. my first repair bill was for $447.02 the next bill was for $734.32 that was for home depot to pay for the first repair bill. found out that the 442.02 was for labor only.

I am from England, so my questions might be culturally related.Question 1: “Ghetto areas” in LA

I’ve found a few promising properties in LA zip codes that, according to Best Places & City Data, have high levels of violent crime.In the UK, we’d call such areas ghettos and they are not worth investing in, as the tenants lack income, the monthly rental prices are low, and the property management companies provide a poor service.

I'm not sure how I found Biggerpockets but it has been an excellent resource!
