Too funny.This will now be my standard response to these worthless, "I'm looking for my participation trophy" posts!

While this isn't a standard practice for all wholesalers, the actions of a few can tarnish the reputation of many.4.

However it feels pretty standard with inventory.

Youll need to create standard operating practices (SOP's) that can be documented.

With the Voucher Payment Standards in LA, I figure I'd need to find a 3 bedroom property with an ARV of around 280,000. 

From either a safety standpoint or because the property couldn’t meet my standards of being a nice place to live (not a slum property).

Send them a standard letter that is credible.

That has less to do with crime (in the area that I live I don't see it as a big issue) and more to do with taxes and tenant-friendly laws.For any area that is higher crime, you should budget for higher vacancy (and significantly higher vacancy if you don't set tight screening standards and have to evict a tenant) and higher repairs and maintenance.Good luck!

The texture is the standard texture around here too.

The Boomer Business Bureau isn't a credible source of information.Loopnet and Crexi are the industry standard consumer-facing sources for CRE.
