Now less than a year later, the property is being sold as a duplex and everything on the city and county’s website said duplex.

I host a podcast where I talk all about it.

This website is a great starting point to find out what areas are like https://www.areavibes.com/It gives you a total livability score and from there you can narrow down you search. 

If you have a ton of activity, then host an open house, get people through and then let them apply.

Hello Preston,Thanks for the advice and valuable website.

where can we find places-websites to analyze areas that will provide positive cash flow?

Most hosts have a closet where they store extra supplies, so yes it's very important o have a locked supply closet.Hope this helps!

We have been around the bigger pockets community for over a decade now and have more 5 star reviews on bigger pockets than any company on this website in any industry (>270  5 Star reviews).

I host a virtual investor meeting every wednesday at 7pm EST, DM me and i can send the details your way.

On public websites, I see some options to acquire a duplex in central Los Angeles under $550K which would require at least another $50K of work if I do not outsource most of the labor.
