He was talking condos, but for some fun, out of the box thinking to get your juices going - I would totally take your budget and get as many mid-century bungalows in Burbank between Magnolia and the Chandler Bike path that haven't been remuddled, with the original wood floor under carpet. 

I mean, if you're over the century mark it probably is too late to start or at least not worth it too. 

lol  As was said, Century old houses are a "chore" to keep up with.

Vintage mid-century crappers in cool colors sell for big bucks on ebay.

lol we thinks the same ....there was a deal of century dec 2022 a 3/1 for only 950k...i didn't get it lol

21st century mobile home mortgage How did you add value to the deal?

It gets worst when looking at their appreciation numbers for this century which is one out of 10 which is bad.   

Neighborhoodscout shows San Diego to be 10/10 in appreciation this century.  

It's tough to be forward thinking, but there's a reason for centuries people have said, "The Early Bird Get's the Worm".

This is 21st century.
