You can't do them yourself.3-The under contract time is much longer than usual because of all the bids you have to get.I'm not a fan, but I am willing to have someone tell me I'm wrong if they have had a better experience. 

I was just trying to see if it was worth trying to shake my money trees or if I am out of my league on this one.Thanks again!

As for a second job, as a fan of the hustle, I think it is always interesting to find more ways to get cash flow; especially if it means throwing all the second job money into real estate. 

I'm a big fan of the area, love the job growth. 

Not a big fan of guru's.

I will need to establish those relationship if I want to get into the bigger boy's league

Of course, there are different leagues of investors (available funds) and everyone has a different set of risk level/criteria.For me, I stick to low-mid grade properties in up and coming neighborhoods.  

It's worth noting that it's certainly possible that the 8% fee structure is only feasible for my company since the market rents in San Diego are as high as they are.Even with that being the case; I'm still not a fan of incentivizing vacancy, frivolous repairs, and late payments from tenants. 

@Bill Regan  Im personally not a fan of the home business.  

I actually grew up an LSU fan since both my parents went to school here, so it feels nice to be here!
