My suggestion is to  diversify in a small single family house in a high growth area on the mainland. 

Day 1: Monday May 14, 2018 -The As Is Condition.Not much was done but still an important task.

I am a californian investor fairly new to BP looking to invest $100k to $150 into properties that will help funnel my overall growth in real estate by either or both cash flow and appreciation.

Here in Columbus, Ohio, we are seeing tremendous growth and revitalization in the city.

There are 4 stages in a neighborhood, growth, stability, decline and gentrification.  

Semi-retirement just means I can dedicate more time to tasks which help my recovery, like making food at home and buying wholesale.

I'm currently living out of state due to work, but being born and raised in South Austin, I'm interested in the central TX market, particularly the longer term growth/appreciation potential of the smaller communities east of 35 corridor (Lockhart, Elgin, Taylor, Luling, etc.) as I anticipate expansion east over the next 10-20 years.  

If you are looking for solid growth and stability with low cap rates it is probably a good bet.

Go room by room in the house and spell out exactly what you want done in as much detail as possible, down to the most minor of tasks.

I ran the BP Rental Calculator with the assumptions:Vacancy: 10%Repairs & Maintenance: 10%Capital Expenditures: 10%Property Management Fee: 10%Annual Income / PV / Expenses Growth: 0%Sales Expenses: 0% Having never bought a unit, I could definitely use any insights into the assumptions for this area.
