As a landlord, finding reliable, rent paying people is your number one priority. Retired and section 8 are good bets as they are backed by the govt.
Appreciation is a future event that no one can be sure of the outcome. Ask yourself if you don’t mind being a landlord for at least 5 years?
You may want to run some ads and see how the response unfolds. This may give you some insight in real-time.

January 31, 2011 at 9:58 AM #660107SD RealtorParticipantAgree with the strategy of acquisition of rentals for passive income down the road. If done carefully it can be rewarding and you guys seem to be going about it in the right manner with an eye on cash flow. Your big risk is depreciation but if the goal is for passive income later in life, you seem to understand what is happening.
The financing is the tricky part though. Lenders (at least in my experience) are harsh on rental income. As you guys know they basically use 75% of it. Harsher though is that many lenders consider seasoning important. That is, if you purchased a home and are renting it out, they may not consider ANY of the rental income unless you have that home declared on your taxes. Some lenders may even want 2 years worth of seasoning! Again, I am not rock solid on this information.
Anyone who has found a lender with less stringent seasoning requirements, if you could speak up that would be helpful.

January 31, 2011 at 11:44 AM #661293ltokudaParticipantI’m also thinking about investing in Riverside rental properties. My basic idea would be to buy a fixer-upper in cash. Do some basic improvements, then rent it out. However, I would like to pull equity out of the house as soon as possible so that I can use the money to buy another property.
Anyone know how soon I could do this after getting a renter moved in? Can you think of any problems I might run into trying to do this?
