I had a friend that bought a house for the three years he was there and sold it but he used his fathers money and they got what they paid in the end so only lost on the realtor fees.If you look at the numbers you are giving they couldn't afford property management costs which only makes it viable for the few years you are there so in my humble opinion unless you can come up with a better deal it's not worth it.

welcome to BP and investing.... the beginning is always the hardest but once you get your feet wet, investing becomes more exciting i think.... my humble opinion if you want to build a solid long term wealth and PASSIVE income so that you could retire one day or keep working and have a side income, you should look outside of your area and invest out of state.

I'm currently doing research at the moment and trying to see where I can start my humble beginning.

If you can get $2200/month in rent, you are looking at monthly cash flow of $148 and annual return of 3.6%.Again, this is my humble (and fairly inexperienced) opinion.

I will research and create them before I make my appointment with a Real Estate Attorney in Sacramento.I just want to have all my ducks in a row.If there is someone in the Sacramento area doing Creative Real Estate transactions who I can offer my humble assistance in helping them succeed while I learn a thing or two, I would be honored to do so.I am also looking for an accountability partner in the Sacramento area if someone is interested.

I'm humbly requesting the help and brilliant expertise which is never in short supply around here. 

If you are not sure what your future career holds for you, then I would humbly advise that you determine what you want your end goal to be and work backwards from there.

In My Humble Opinion

I'm humble and always willing to learn more but that first step has to start somewhere so I'm diving in.  

I live in Pasadena (East of downtown) but I work in the Humble area.
