The STR is in the same neighborhood but is in a slightly better location, beach block vs 2nd block.

Are there more buyers than houses available in the neighborhoods you're considering?

HOA, shopping center,  or neighborhood restrictions?

That being said, one of the walk ups ended up being a great tenant for another property I had, so definitely not all bad assuming it’s in a decent neighborhood. 

After 8 years as a director in the kitchen and bath retail space, I'm bringing my positive energy and relationship building to a wholesaling firm covering Los Angeles and San Diego counties (we specialize in single family homes priced between $400-$1.7M).

I will look at a few factors, rent for area, total mortgage payment with property taxes( which can be crazy in Detroit), investment in neighborhood, I like looking into places where they are building homes and apartments that attract young professionals or families , and also looking at potential to make a single family home into a duplex or something can add an adu or transform a basement to a studio apartment!

These kids are living in the same houses and in the same neighborhoods. 

Is it a firm 6 months or is it likely to be extended.

Currently, East English Village home prices are up, and the neighborhood committee is committed to building up the area.

Appreciate the recommendation to look by neighborhood vs zip.
