Now, we all know that I am not the sharpest tack in the box, but I would like to better understand.Think of it this way, Alina.You are driving on the freeway at 70-miles per hour.

@Xavian Rimmer house hacking a single-family home and renting out the rooms is a great way to drive down your cost of living.

Driving around and knocking on doors takes a lot of time.

I'm trying to get my first property in and around driving distance (40 min to an hour) around here.

I think I'm leaning toward investing across the border in AZ or NV which are within a 4-hour driving distance if I need to go over and check on my properties once a month.I feel like I'm a bit at a crossroads at the moment starting out. 

I haven't been employed in 6 months, so I'm currently driving for Uber.2.

One of the main points it attempts to drive home with appraisers, is that each appraisal assignment is unique, and each assignment must be tailored to serve the valuation problem at hand and as a component of the valuation problem, the expectation of the user/client.

I had a friend drive by the house and confirmed that someone is in fact living in the home and took pics of the exterior for me.

I do have some experience with c class neighborhoods and rentals but they were all within an hour drive and we were very hands on both in property management and maintenance. 

I've been looking around in the central valley and Sacramento area since it's within a 2 hour drive.
