I wouldn't sell any piece of real estate unless I have already identify a new asset that produces as much more more income and have potential to create new equity or I desperately needed the capital to pay for a tragedy.  

As such, if you are focusing on achieving annual cash flow, places in the mid-west or south tend to produce much higher returns.

I understand that yellow letter campaigns and "riding the roads" can produce wonderful results in large cities.

Does that allow you to comfortably raise your offer a tiny bit?

3) I can't speak for other areas of CA obviously as I stated above having not yet even so much as visited the state - BUT - that same money you are talking about for a down payment on one property in SF could be used in many many other parts of the country to buy handfuls of property or decent sized apartment complexes (20-40 units), which very seriously will produce returns high enough to pay for that 2000$/mo mortgage and then some.

PM vs Turnkey - - sadly, there's various definitions for each here on BP.Some use turnkey to imply a company that sells properties with tenants in place producing a cash flow. 

Simply enter the property address and it will produce various public records related to it.

Those three variables were then scaled and combined to form a 'hotness score,' producing the top ten list."

My first and main goal here is to learn more about long term real estate investing through self direct IRA's, buying and holding income producing investment properties, building great relationships with other members. 

I have a colleague that is creating a tiny home community in San Diego.
