They also threw in an outside rear yard spigot... not in the scope of work or the bid, but whatever.

Likely too long.If you want to know the exact part of San Diego that these RE are in look at my profile but I really think all the working class areas of San Diego should be similar.Hopefully this gives you an idea of what is a realistic day 1 cash flow (not great), what type of below market deals can be found (there are better ones that people find than these but these are the ones available to me right now), and an example of an easy value add (versus more complicated value add like adding units or reconfiguring existing units into either more units or add BR to exiting units).Good luck

Put that idea in your rear view mirror.

Any judge worth their salt will jerk a knot in a landlord's rear end for such shannigans.

They have perpetually continued a decent into the suck since first being aquired by homeaway and then more precipitously when expedia reared their ugly heads.

Initial Landscaping clean-up is complete.In the back...weeded dumping area is gone, Ivy trimmed back, leaning tree in rear is gone and all bushes trimmed.The Stumps on the side have been removed from area where we need to add access for door on 2, dogwood trees in front pruned (looking good!)

There will be a rear setback requirement of 20 ft.

But we also have a couple of trailers,  (a 12ft & the other is a 20ft beast).All auto's retired with very high RE miles & usually torn rear seating BUT the Ram is definitely the vehicle of choice & I still rack up 20k miles a year in it.

Most of our units have a shurLock (LandlordLocks.com) attached to the hose bib in the rear. 

I applied for a building permit with a zoning variance for raising the roof line and extending the rear wall.
