Would love to know what B/C areas/zip codes are good for buy and hold. 

Not sure exactly what the census data will include, but if you get your hands on migration data (by neighborhood or zip code), ignore the Oakland/Shadyside areas.

I would like to know if a property that is within 0.5 miles from the subject property, exact same beds/baths, sq footage, same zip code and sold within the last 6 months but it's in a neighborhood across a major street is a good COMP.Thank you so much for your time and insights!

Hey just to clarify STR’s in Somerville are restrictive but actually not as restrictive as the code says - we were pleasantly surprised when we actually went through with it.

Most agents are using CTM e-contracts,  Docu-sign or similar electronic contract systems and it seems like the software could be coded not to disclose the buyer's name until acceptance rather easily.

Now I have a notice which I responded to from the Bakersfield Building code enforcement about some things done in this unit with no permits again nothing from my management company .

I agree with others, older windows is code for ‘I found somewhere else’.

With regards to the areas and zip codes i would recommend  Ballantyne in South Charlotte (28277), its a great area with the some of the best public schools in the city (Ardrey Kell high school) and a lot of people I know move to that area just so their kids can go to that school.

And even passive income investors, those who are investing in property for rental or ongoing income purposes, can see capital gains taxes assessed on occasion.A key factor in the tax code is how profits, which are usually taxable, can be offset with losses.

What's the zip code of this "growth area"?
