It also depends on what you are going to do with the proceeds should you sell it and the prospects for appreciation/rent growth for the property in the short and medium term.  

My first deal was easy, and continues to be. 

It has always been a C area and other parts of the city is growning I don’t see as much growth in this area.

I recently purchased a condo in San Diego, CA (92104) the home values here are continuously raising above average.

The plan is to BRRRR the place and look for another house in the area to hopefully continue repeating for a while. 

Is it okay to enter the house to continue other work if I wear one of those expensive $40 ventilation masks?

I will continue to use this provision in leases, but intend to tighten up language to emphasize that all repairs must be identified timely and must be authorized by landlord/PM.

I think your advice to continue to invest in a careful manner is the most prudent methodology going forward. 

Hello BP members,I will be moving to San Diego in 2 weeks to attend SDSU to continue my education on real estate.

For the people that want to put the situation behind them and start fresh, I can’t imagine many homeowners who would want to sign over the deed to you and continue to have the mortgage in their name while you promise to make the payments.
