You could even look at making the 2nd unit into a STR, before permits come in, since STRs are legal here in Vista.We're in Vista close to downtown and love the area (besides the noise from the train).

You have to be 18, but you can typically find someone willing to hire you, pay for your license, and train you.

I have several years in sales, management and training but I have never invested.

We do allow a well-trained dog, preferably large, no puppies and no breeds not covered by our insurance (vet records showing breed, age, proof of current vaccination and any required pet license).

This is 99% of most training courses.

They have admin people on payroll to handle tasks that can be handled by trained people and spend their time at higher level tasks3.

A lot of people get stuck in analysis paralysis and the cost of the special training/programs combined with the equity lost by not being in the market and passing up on good properties ends up costing them more in the long run. 

I've split tested this and local callers have always gotten more leads than VA's....even well trained VA's with little to no accent.    

This post reminds me of a situation like you see a baby laying on the train tracks.

I would train the tenants to always expect a rate increase at renewal.
