@Vanessa Chow welcome to BP! Great to have someone with your background join the community. Try to make it out to the local BP Meetups and listen to all of the podcasts if you have not already!

@Jake Thomas congrats! Now go crush it even more!

@Jonathan Franklin you are quite the impressive young man! As others have mentioned, listen to all of the podcasts and read what you can. Also, try to go to Open Houses with your parents/neighbors and get an idea of what makes things sell. Ask questions - at your age anything will be ok to ask so try to learn as much as you can and figure out what about real estate makes you so excited.

For anyone that can attend, I highly recommend making the trip out. @Johnson H. I will see you at the next one - my fiancee and I are heading out of town for the weekend. Enjoy!

@Travis Masterbone welcome! You are hitting the ground running it looks like at an exciting time. Make sure to attend the BP Meetups when you can and really just soak in as much information as possible from the forums and podcasts.

@Theodore Lin have you been renting it out since you bought it back in 2013? If not, there may be some other paths you might want to take.

@Lauren Heart is right in terms of aligning your investment goals with your decision. Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, that really will influence what you do with your property.

@Khaled Seirafi I think it was about ~$250 the last time I spoke with my insurance agent for nothing fancy. Very possibly to get under that (and as you know very easy to get over that) but from an insurance stand point she was comfortable in that range.

Really just depends on the GC you use.

@Raine Carson welcome! @Johnson H. is having one this week in Milpitas! Great group of BPers that really are welcoming and honest!

@Phil Ting welcome! There are some BP Meetups this week that you should try to attend if you can. Go introduce yourself and try and soak in as much as possible!

@Brian Garlington @Account Closed made some really great points. I know your post is titled "What's easier to Rent out for cashflow" but just also remember that a 3bd/2ba is usually easier to sell than a 2bd. When thinking about an exit, just keep that in mind too.
