You can learn a ton about the industry and get an immense amount of investment and property knowledge all before you've done a deal of your own.I got licensed because of my interest in real estate and my desire for a real estate focused career change.

My desired initial farm area is The Bronx (average prices range from $400k~$850k).  

On the other hand I'm ok with us firming up that all HVAC work is part of CAM, so I pay 50% of it always. 3.

I also own a contracting firm in the Seattle area which is the reason I am even able to purchase RE investment properties.

You can also find firms that offer those services.  

. - Has the towns only liquor store with liquor license- Has an attached tavern with kitchen space and billiard table - Has 1200 sq ft. of extra space outdoor and indoor for whatever you heart desires (tasting room - we have some wineries and breweries local, retail space, etc.) 

I am located in San Diego and surrounded by people who are achieving the level of success that I desire but I want to learn more.

That's called LAZY marketing.You need to market the rental extensively through:- Craigslist- Facebook Marketplace- asking existing tenants for referrals- Zillow- seeking out Property Managers managing other properties in the area (they might get calls from tenant prospects but they don't have any vacancies)- put multiple signs (if allowed by your city) in busy intersections- Apartments.com- Rentalhouses.com- Rent.com- same thing with PM, call other landlords in the area- GoSection8.com (once you get your units section 8 qualified)If after doing the above, you're getting hundreds of tenant prospects and you're still not getting good tenants, then it could be a problem with your criteria being too strict (or too much - like getting 2XSD) or it could be the property/location being not so desirable (like the bar you mentioned).

I know I'll get much less cash to work with, but this home is in a very desirable area and will have a healthy $500/month cash flow once refinanced.

If you get certain weeks make sure they are desirable to renters.
