Many people get bored after a week or two and won't want to stay longer as there are hardly any cities and not much happening and there's so much jungle you can look at in a day (it's a great place for quiet retirees).

It wasn’t the biggest spread, but the experience was priceless.

However, we are taking over from a PM to self-manage and are inheriting the current setup.Our biggest concern is that this first communication from the tenant was a sob story asking for $500 back/off rent.

That is probably the biggest difference overall along with the 30 year loan term here being most common. 

@Jesse Streng Great that you want to invest in the Detroit area but I encourage you to come to the city and spend a weekend here to get a feel for the market.

Our process server charges $40 within the city limits.

Back to sec8, should be easy to see that's a fast-pass to time-suck-city. 

Wow police that's outrageous. what we do in Orygun is flaggers are all women owned business's and that's how the contractors are able to maneuver city state contracts that require a certain amount of minority owned business. 

It really helps to see how Redwood properties stack up in terms of returns versus popular metro areas (from what I’ve heard).What would you do first if you were to break down the property’s biggest potential value-add?

Quote from @Brandon Foster: Hello Ryan,STR is do able in the north county area but there are a lot of rules and regulations.The city of Oceanside right now will not allow anything STR unless it’s west of pacific coast hwy.This is changing a lot too so you need to be aware of that in your plans.Carlsbad is super strict too but there are some condos that are still available to do STR in.Medium term rentals are as safer bet but way less profitable.
