I really enjoy listing to BP while working on my rentals - perfect for activities that don't involve lots of loud power pools.  

The fact that I would be my own tenant, I know how to do home DIY so I'd put in some sweat equity over the years as well as the lower prices make it a perfectly reasonable first home to flip.

Live in flip makes perfect sense. 

Sometimes they can be more work, but if you do it right, you almost can't become a bad landlord because the property has to be in great working order from the closet door closing correctly to the bathroom outlets working perfect with the GFCI, to the important things like no roof leaks.  

The problem I'm having is that the owners that own all of the Condos live in California and do not like the fact that I purchased the condo and have made that perfectly clear that I am an outsider!

they were perfect so I'm bummed.  

I tend to get to overwhelmed with all the data or just looking for that PERFECT deal.

Somewhere in that spectrum we will all find a perfect fit. 

It doesn't mean you expect an absolutely pristine, perfect place.

@Darren Eady  @Bob Maleckithis scam is alive and well in the mid west rust belt and deep south.When I had foreclosures and banged on doors... more than once I asked who they were paying rent.. to and it would be    I's pay to the guy in the blue truck... this scam is alive and well .. the fact that the dectives will even engage you is awesome most jurisdictions would tell you its a civil matter. assignment of rents is great but it cost to perfect it.. and try to explain to some tenant what it is.. they have no understanding and think your the MAN trying to scam them more.
