I'm a little surprised honestly. 

And honestly, the numbers aren't interesting without recouping that monthly income.What, if any, are my options to either up the rent on the current good tenants, or have them move and get a new family in there at current market rates? 

Honestly, I think there are pros and cons to each and it depends on your personality, your business, and what exactly you are trying to accomplish by being on these networks on the first place. 

@Kendall Mercer I honestly don't even know where to start.

I’ve heard the down payment for an owner occupant can be extremely low, but would I need a parent to be a co-signer?

My experience so far though has been extremely competitive trying to get those properties though, so don't expect to just jump on the MLS and find an easy deal paying way less than market value.

Property in San Francisco area, tenant late for pymt for the first time, extremely demanding & difficult to deal with (that shouldn't warrant an eviction though). 5 day grace period has passed, we are 3 days past due date and he is not being very communicative.

I personally think it's probably difficult to see dramatic changes in your financial portfolio due to TK investments unless you get lucky with appreciation.Finally: If you are looking for an extremely passive investment, you can consider crowdfunded REIs and joint ventures.

Hi Jarid,To be honest, I have definitely been that agent before, glazing over with mention of flipping (mine was definitely an internal glaze, no obvious outward indications - LoL).  

Ive done quit a bit of research and honestly quit nervous about taking my first step or even where to start would love some ideas and tips to help me push in the right direction !!!!
