Love the Sierra valley.. poor mans Tahoe.. 

It doesn't make sense to commit mortgage fraud just to pick up a property.

I think managing your self as you grow gives you the opportunity to pick the appropriate management when you grow to that point of need because you have experienced all that there is for yourself.

I often break it down into the "five pillars" of protecting your assets.The first pillar is avoiding unnecessary and risky activities (don't drink and drive, insurance generally won’t cover your poor decisions) and take good care of your investments - these simple steps will help you prevent lawsuits before they even occur.The second pillar is a good insurance policy as that cover the majority of your exposure.

Settle on an area, factor the average rents, pick a potential property to offer on and get preapproved for it.

Picking the right property, unpaid rent, evictions, rental unit damage, etc.But for me, my number 1(outside of property choice) was choosing and managing my property managers. 

I have had a lot of clients aged 18-22, and every single one of them had picked up a trade or joined the blue collar workforce after High School instead of pursuing a degree. 

Landlords will tend to keep there rent below market, due too being poor business managers, and as a result silently lose thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars as well as devalue their properties at time of sale.

Demand...we picked up a lot 2 years ago.

I am simply looking for people of this area i can meet with maybe buy a coffee and pick your brain for a minute or two, i may not be a asset now but in time i will be so looking for those who are willing to help me grow as i want to help others reach there goals as well. looking forward to speaking to you all soon. be great!
