Am looking at these two properties in LA, one is a 4-unit 50 years old just East of Culver City, somewhere east of Hauser and just north of Jefferson Blvd. this one is a bread and butter property which almost covers its own expenses and will be completely carrying itself in 5 years, second one is a 3-units 95 years old on Eagle Rock in walking distance to Colorado Blvd with one unit vacant (needs 30K to rehab).

For example, the top two MSAs with the largest population growth from 2010 to 2016 (estimated) is The Villages, FL (32.7%) and Austin-Road Rock TX (19.8%).

Welcome, Charles: I'm your neighbor slightly to your north in Little Rock.

Talk about lease breeches, etc and how you are caught between a rock and a hard place.4. 

Jerryll,If only Sysiphus had been pushing his rock up Mount Olympus using your footsteps as a guide he may have been able to join you at the top and become a flippin God, so I consider myself fortunate that I have someone like you at my disposal as I begin my journey , learning from your wisdom to prevent me from falling victim to slipping on monkey drool. 

They have been slumming, they are hitting rock bottom financially and repairs are reaching the point of being a real liability, or the reaper is calling and they need to exit asap in their old age.. normally all the above!

Not to mention (since you're in Little Rock) how you look at economic vacancy between, let's say the River Market and something off of Mabelvale Pike.What's more material for you (and something that's fairly constant) is the amortization table that your lender will use.
