The place was nice and well maintained.  

The house needs some work even though it has been reasonably maintained.

I've been working with mostly investors since I've obtained my license which goes great with the fact that I am a property manager for a Property Management Company that helps over 150 property owners maintain their property, find tenants to move in, and make sure that they pay!

My previous experience is in landlording my previous home as well as managing and maintaining about 20 condo units for friends and family. 

Concrete condos have less to worry about because the Association takes car of the structure and everything in the walls everything in your unit is your responsibility to maintain.  

I have been happy there and the low cost of maintaining a license is very "investor friendly"!

I am a successful professional with my JOB and have done well investing in real estate in the past; but now would like to become a full time real estate investor.My goals are to build my business in phases; phase 1 will be maintaining my JOB while completing 2 Flips/year, adding capital, and also add one rental property every year or two years.

They're easy to set up and maintain and can help you establish your brand in the market.That said, I also agree with Ned though that you shouldn't wait until you have one to get started.

All assets cash flow; not all throw off positive cash flow.These are consolidated into a single excel spreadsheet, maintained and shared with bookkeeper in Dropbox.I monitor my marketing funnels using SmartSheet.

My comment was just that you're probably exposing yourself to $14k in taxable income you didn't have to before.I too own rental property in SD, and the tax implications of increasing cash flow is, for me, one of the contributing reasons why I chose to maintain a majority of the portfolio in SD.Sounds like you're planning to ladder up again in a couple years, though.
