I can help you purchase an investment property in Santa Rosa.

Some rents in what some define as an A may hold strong values but rents compared to purchase price may not be comparable to a B.

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.

So far I've owned the place for 4 months and have not had any issues with my tenant yet.Am I Happy With My Purchase?

I would lay eyes on anything you are considering purchasing first hand.

Obviously if I intend to have a top performing STR in this market, my buy box will allow for a much higher max purchase price, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with shooting for the max if there aren't clear ways to beat these competing properties.

Rentals are tough based on the rents vs the purchase price of homes out there.

I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area as an investment property and renting it out on a short term rental site like AirBNB. 

I own a couple vacant lots and looking to purchase more in a small area. 2/1s in Memphis, as far as I know, are as desirable as in a bigger market.

What purchase price?
