Try to reach out to Ronald Rohde.He used to be around here on regular basis.

I understand some of the possible implications of making this move would be a likely higher interest rate and lower NOI on the new investment but would like to get additional feedback on what other things I should take into consideration with this possible move from those out there who might have some experience in this realm.

How much would you be willing to pay for a comprehensive market research tool?

I don't think it would be wise to knowingly buy something that you'd be forced to pay both rent and mortgage.

As much as I'd love to be in the straight B class, living in SoCal and wanting my first purchase to be close I simply cannot make my first investment in a B from what I can tell so far.

The jurisdiction of its a safety hazard or blight my require it to be demolished and you do not want to start getting fined for it, so that is something I would consider.

They tend to be lower maintenance, and the steady cash flow can be a great way to start building your portfolio.That said, vacation properties can be lucrative too, especially in high-demand beach areas.

Property Management team would do all that and charge 8-10%, which would be $3158.40-3948. 

This would allow you to gain valuable experience as a landlord while also benefiting from lower downpayment options.

That sounds too good to be true.
