We’re primarily focused on long-term buy-and-hold properties, but we don’t want to miss opportunities to flip for a quick profit.

I have found a profitable niche between 8-50 units where larger investors do not focus and there is great upside that is addressable with the property management business capabilities.

One, I made a profit; other one, I kinda even out.

How consistently has it show that it can be profitable. 

However, some developers are profiteering.

These carriers are not profitable in CA and CA laws and regulations do not make it easy to mitigate these financial struggles. 

And therefore competition among tenants can create significant challenges, like...Businesses may struggle to establish a unique presence and loyal customer base, and a lack of profitability due to nearby competition will likely lead to higher tenant turnover.

hey @Matthew Toporowski, at the least I would check their financials/tax returns to see how profitable they are (which translates into how easy it will be to pay your rent).

A free property is great... but if you find a deal good enough to BRRR (which can prove challenging) take that profit and invest it into a revenue generating activity.

That is $5,400 or so per month so $1,600 profit.
