After being an active real estate broker for about a year I decided sales were not entirely for me and am going back to the property management community.  

The situation: Recently moved back to where I was born and raised (Vallejo, CA/Bay Area) and after several interviews I'm needing to decide between a few job offers:1-Enterprise Rent-A-Car (Mgmt Trainee)2-Sequoia Equities (Apt Leasing Consultant)3-Redfin (Sales support)The dilemma: I do have an interest in REI, would love to be able to coordinate some flips as well as delve into buy and hold Multifamily opportunities (which is where prop mgmt comes into play).

Or sale at appreciated price?

Hello BP,Are there any investors out there who have had success buying HOA liens at weekly sheriff's sales?

Estimate your taxes based on after sale price, not what the owner currently pays.There are a bunch of these little nits to deal with.

A preliminary Team includes Attornies, real estate Agents, CPA's (or accountants), Inspectors, General Contractors, and Handymen.Always remember to do a math analysis and try to look at prospective properties before you make an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that allows you the time (about 15 days) to make a detailed inspection and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that will hurt you very much.  

Strange it hasn't gone thru a tax deed sale.

The rental portion of the duplex will cover my mortgage and upkeep.When I quit my current job I want focus on my small business and also supplement my income by cashing out my 401K and buying another multifamily investment property. 

A home went for sale in June 2016 for $799,000 in San Diego on Island ave.

I've read a few articles describing the benefit of using a 3rd party like "cozy.com" to collect rents from tenants...one benefit being my routing and account number aren't given to tenants for direct deposit which can evidently lead to issues down the road...however, the main benefit being that a tenant can stall an eviction by direct depositing a portion of the rent owed into my account, thereby, nullifying the eviction process and having to start over since I "accepted" partial payment.
