Victorville MLS

One of my favorite hobbies is to scan the Victorville MLS site for cheap houses. The home market has been in the tank for quite some time now, and I hope it will continue.

I have, hopefully, positioned myself to be somewhat cash flow positive this year. I knew the housing market would crash from its high, so almost every day I am browsing the MLS for a good deal.

My plan is not to live in a cheap house, but rather to pick up a few at bottom feeder prices, maybe fix em up a bit and rent them out. Obviously I would take measures to avoid getting myself upside down on them. I have no desire to "gamble" in rentals. There is a purchase price that would yield a cash flow positive rental, those are the requirements.

So I keep watching the MLS, daily, most of the time just bringing up a quick search for any homes selling bellow the 100k mark; not very many do.

But still I dream of working for myself one day, and I plan on rentals being a large portion of my self employed income.
