Again 1/10th of the pocket listings out there?

Here is a list of what adding ADUs in my CA market is typically a poor RE investment:1) The value added by the ADU addition is often significantly less than the cost of adding the ADU.

@Paola Astrid Find the local NARPM (national association of residential property managers) chapter's website and you'll find a list of each professional PM. 

Cheap properties in Milwaukee are fools gold (especially for OOS investors, people literally will scoff at a rough listing and then someone will say: eh, someone from CA will buy it..)

If I could rewind 7 years, I would’ve personally scooped up another property near downtown...prices were more forgiving back then.All that said, I’m curious..if you were getting back in the game today, would a condo with strong amenities but an unpredictable HOA top your list, or are you eyeing single-families for that full control?

It does seem odd they would list a reference that they didn't speak to previously. 

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

Heir, preforeclosure, foreclosure, divorce, absentee, rundown, can't keep up with maintenance, overdue taxes and liens, the list is endless.Don't try to force an offer on them, get to know them and keep following up.

Maybe the VRBO or AirBNB listing so we can get a good idea of what we are talking about.

I only rented out 2 out of my 3 rooms because parking ain't the easiest in my hood.5) I rented to professionals (and one PHD student) so that's why I chose the neighborhoods I listed.
