I’ve heard of this being done in places like the Deep South but you have to build a reliable team because obviously you need a contractor, plumber, electrician, property manager and a realtor.

@Mikhail EgorovWe do 20 Flips/BRRRRs per year and use these tools:Underwriting - DealCheckCRM - ClickUpProject Management - ClickUpBookkeeping - QuickBooks Online Plus Team Communication - SlackFile Storage - Google Drive

Negotiating, funding, and doing project management and some of the handyman type work.

is it worth offering discounts on rent and asking the tenant to fix minor issues themselves rather than calling the landlord, this to avoid property management company expenses? 

My recommendation would be speaking with a local agent/property manager who has personal experience with investing in San Diego real estate and can complete a property analysis for you to determine current value, highest and best-use, and what your options are.

Erik Sies is my realtor and rental manager.

We've decided to scale back on acquisitions and have started scouting out talent to add to our team to be better prepared for what's to come.While we believe we could greatly benefit from bringing on an Integrator, project manager, and construction manager as soon as possible, we are looking at cost/benefit for our first hire.

My journey through the world of real estate has been diverse, from fix-and-flips and employing the BRRRR method to managing Airbnb.

Seek for homes where property management may be optimized or where renovations and enhancements might raise rental income.Long-Term View: Although cash flow could be difficult initially, take into account Silicon Valley real estate's potential for long-term value.

It's next to my house so I could easily manage the property myself and rent it out for $2000+ per month.
