Currently performing DIY Rehab within house hack to get the other unit rent ready while learning the ins and outs to start implementing "who not how" for my next Investment!

I see no reason that I would expect poway or Mira mesa to out perform the general San Diego market.  

AirDNA themselves rank that market as a 24/100 in performance (they give a 100 for invest ability though).

The numbers I'll provide are just an example of a random heat pump, and the actual performance can vary slightly depending on the manufacturer, design, and the components they are combined with.

One thing , not all Waikiki condo performs the same so you may want to analyze further on that specific building 

It is a longer play, and you need to perform when they send you a deal.

Evan I will not invest in a sponsor that I see either on instagram in the shiny new home, fancy cars etc. or acts as an influencer with all these training programs.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

There are some great markets to invest in such as Pinellas county, but there is a barrier to entry to have a performing property.

It's not worth the risk of transferring appraisals to a lender that may or may not perform on their promise.
