If someone tells you they have not, run. 

I understood mine was a small project and figured bigger more lucrative projects were bumping me to the bottom of the pile.Around April I started running out of patience.

It's the struggle between being a caring, compassionate human being and running a business.

Obviously depending on the specifics, which I am still waiting on a call back, is it worth taking a run down, disorganized property that isn't anywhere close to its potential and putting the time and money in to develop it into a nice community?

If you live in one small unit and get a type 1 STR permit, the numbers i have run are $80k-$130k year income.  

I am a young landlord and just do this on the side (full-time engineer).

Just wanted to pass this along in case someone else runs into the same issue. 

And a ton of money sometimes when we are careful.Stick to your lease agreement, get the Security Deposit, get co-signers if need be, and always run a credit check.  

You need a marketable lease when you exit later on and if the tenant gets all their way it can hurt you in the long run for resale.     

-run those on any property you find in San Diego and you'll find out pretty quickly that you're going to be in the negative.
