Depends on the market, some markets with students, and older populations do well with 1s.

Wells can be pricey.

I'm an investor from California as well and have been investing out of state for four years. 

It helps in the long run to develop the connections plus they know the area well which avoids hiccups down the road.

I have some mid range and excellent VAs I am happy to recommend as well if anyone is in the market.

We have enough capital now to purchase a property and and we are blessed to have capital left over every month as well, which we typically invest in CDs.Here are our current options: 1-Buy a turnkey place that has nothing to do with mom for cash flow of $200-300/month plus potential appreciation, overall ROI of 15-20% 2- Ask mom if she would move closer to us in San Diego, buy a small place here, have zero cashflow but at least we have another property in a great appreciating market and are no longer spending the $800 on her rent3- Buy a place for her in Orlando, same scenario as above but obviously a lesser mortgage since its FL and not CAWe found a great turnkey company we liked so if we do option one I think we will use them, but it just feels like if we do that we will still be tossing away what we currently pay on her rent. 

Hi,Once I get work completed, who should I use to verify that the work was performed well other than myself?

Either a small single-family where you rent rooms to your friends or a multi where you do the same in one side and rent the other side as well.

The market is always strong because of the growth there as well as diverse people who travel in and around there with the Military, space and rocket industry, as well as many other tech jobs.
