I must say I'm located in Miami but I'm willing to travel if I need to for a visual inspection after getting an offer accepted, if I get to present it.Thank you for your help in advance!

Be wary of chasing the perceived higher ROIs from another market with its unique dynamics.

A lot of what you're seeing has to do with market dynamics: increased competition, limited supply and REO trading direct to hedge funds/PE through private deals (vs auction or MLS).   

Is that mostly about spill over from USC or other dynamics happening there?

I follow the six principles outlined in 'The Miracle Morning' (Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading and Writing).  

Anecdotally, the VC funding market has topped and the dynamics of fundraising have turned (more favorable to VCs than founders).

I believe it is not less than 30 based on visual memory.  

-Sidewalk visual inspection - No apparent major issues/looks well kept-No rent controlBesides inspection/title search and other basics, are there any other formulas, things you like to ask for, things you've learned from mistakes with multi-units, etc? 

@Brian Gibbons  us developer builder types go to the planning department and get a copy of their zoning and lot map.. shows every lot in the city and what its zone.we then stick it on the wall.. and start to identify our targets.. it gives big picture and little picture I am a map nut when it comes to visuals. 

Because a SFH normally would be 2-3 bed rooms with one being mine and it just seems like being a roommate with someone who shares the same bathroom, kitchen, and living room area would make the dynamics a little confusing right?
