Over the almost 10 years since, I (actually we, my wife is my partner in this) have gotten into 49 (#50 is in progress).  14 have sold, so holding about 35 at this moment; around 5000 doors (but maybe only the door knobs of each -- MF sort of exaggerates this).Perhaps I should mention that I had no prior experience before that presentation. 

I would be OK in paying a higher price if it meant steady cash flow, and less tenant drama. 

No joke,  If you show that you have a steady job for at least 2 years you can apply for a loan from a bank. 2) Pay your current and future bills on time, don't be late with payments.3) Keep your credit score above 700  4) Apply for a credit card if you don't have one and use it.. this shows you can handle the responsibility of paying back money and helps your credit score.5) Don't borrow money from family or friends..

But I do expect a steady increase in rents and property values in prime Bay Area due to limited building, continued tech growth, etc.

@Anthony Hosea big-time opportunity to get in the path of progress of WVU Tech right now.

Our value is essentially just being able to take the property management stress off the owners while providing them with a steady check.

Both have had steady jobs for 5+ years and make well above 3x rent.

@Jordan Moorhead I'd be interested to hear how this progresses in the Minneapolis city council. 

I’m a RN with steady income and have been employed for going on 5 years in my field.

Any updates on your progression?
