I'm not sure Jay.. it seems like every time I go to Vegas, my net worth drops by $2-3K ;) Never been an issue with me as I don't gamble.. but I have had a few dinners for 4 that were 2k  LOL.. cheap food and Vegas is a thing WAY in the past.. now its as expensive if not more than any place in the country or world.. at least the celebrity chef type places at the major Casino's.I went into one fish restaurant they have this great display of dead fish and there is a price tag by the fish I thought that was price PER fish turned out to be price per pound.. so my 68 dollar snapper was 4 pds and I paid 300 bucks for one fish..

If you're doing the repairs yourself then you're looking at something completely different.But self managing only requires you to handle the vacancies and rent collections and to play phone tag with the tenants and contractors when repairs are needed.

There are timelines and regulations to be adhered to, and I'd recommend that you start scouting replacement props long before your prop goes on the market to make sure that first 45-day identification deadline doesn't sneak up on you.

I don't do fix and flips but in addition to the meetups/REIA clubs already mentioned, I would google search fix and flip companies here in San Diego and contact them to see if you can tag along.

Jahan Habib Aaron Klatt ahh so that’s how the tagging works.

Not only that but a 100% of my tenants can claim one or more protected classes but for some reason my post was tagged as racist's.It took several days to figure out what is going on and try to resurrect the discussion by modifying the post by removing all gender and racial characteristics of the people involved.

Sorry, not sure how to tag you @Phillip Dwyer, but I agree that could be a viable option.
