Quote from @Sebastian Marroquin: appreciate the comments above… but there is always a way. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3936-Broadway-San-Diego-C...All i did was search SD homes and in less than 3 seconds saw this home.

I bought 14 homes in a short period of time for gozone tax bene's those are the same as the benes that people search out for cost seg these days.. except they were much easier you did not need a cost seg report..
