I’m a new property manager and I’m trying to get my first clients.

The cash flow will improve most years (possibly not 2025 due to high insurance increases on rental properties in CA).For traditional move-in ready purchase off mls to LTR my view is a 10 year hold is almost guaranteed to produce a good return.  

The first few properties I bought, I was pretty much broke, so I used a HELOC as my reserves as I built up capital and equity in my properties.

And why did you put so much money down on the property?

When you consider who your tenants will be, vacancy, evictions, and maintenance that are part of owning property in an undesirable area, the reality can often be negative cashflow. 

Not sure how you are going to get your property in front of agents?

Most people will wait one year as a general rule to be on the safe side.Technically, you can move into three different properties in one location.

Prioritize your financial stability.

Your post isn't really clear:(The property is in your name 100% or your name and the LLC?

Undesirable properties attract undesirable tenants with higher maintenance and vacancy and LESS cashflow and appreciation.
