It's all about supply and demand.

Much like my path into medicine, I know being successful with researching, investing and other components of CRE will take a lot of hard work and dedication but I am ready to learn.

Good day Brianni Johnson I can supply referrals.

Also any insight into good flooring companies with good selections of product/supplies would be appreciated.

If you drove around and lots of buildings are at 50% occupancy then likely the area is overbuilt and demand is not there for the supply.

Ok, now for the medicine :)  Buying real estate is a lot like falling in love.  

Unless it's an emergency or an urgent need, our tenants won't be calling us in the middle of the night and I won't be going out to the property in the middle of the night.As for what a typical clause might look like, here is are examples from our rental agreement:MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES.Landlord will maintain all electrical, plumbing, heating, and other facilities and appliances supplied by Landlord in good working order.Landlord will perform periodic inspections of the premises, no less than once a year, for the purpose of property maintenance and repair.Landlord will notify Tenant in advance of the inspection.

Most of the funding would be supplied by you and paid back with a predetermined interest rate.

It won't be the crazy wild west like last time, but interest rates and property values can only go so high before the supply surpasses the demand and the market shifts into the favor of buyers and sellers start competing with each other by lowering prices.You could purchase a small multifamily property here in Sacramento for $300k or less, see a positive cash flow of $500 per month, have the tenants pay the down the property for you and still make money when you sell it in a couple years at the peak of the market.

I believe they are required and supplied by owners of mulifamily dwellings where there is a common area, i.e. hallway, laundry room, etc...
