Are there other areas in CA that you could drive to and find a multifamily in your budget like in San Bern?

When you do get involved tell them this is the only time you're giving this little speech and next time you're driving directly to the magistrates office.

I suspect even if it is an improvement I could likely expense it under the Deminimis Safe Harbor if under 2.5K anyway?  

Now its 1-2 but there is population growth so that drives demand.

It is a safe city?

If you have $100,000 equity in three properties, you can safely put them all in the same LLC.

so, whatever the comps that you need to target are - you go for thosein terms of getting desired rents, certainly finishes will come into play a little bitand then of course you want a safe, high quality rentalone thing to note that is not often pointed out is that, with a BRRRR, the higher you boost the ARV, the higher your mortgage payment is going to be and the lower your cash flowso a few things to consider herehope this helps

Look at population growth, job opportunities, and other economic factors that will drive rental demand.

You are going to want to keep a PM in place for any property that is more than a 2 hr drive from you.

It felt pretty safe.
