There’s so much information out there that I don’t know what is true and what is just hearsay, it was really more of a where do I begin type of paradox.

I was so scared to start that I *didn’t* until I took YFRP.

Investing where we live (west coast) is expensive, are we using our money wisely here?

Cap rate never comes out high.

Also, can we manage these units while we still work full-time jobs or if we hire property managers, are we giving away all of our profits?
