This neighborhood has a lot of potential and there is a lot of money to be made here.

While the Carlsbad land is incredible, the neighborhood itself is a bit small for our tastes.

However, don't discount the value an organized and knowledgeable GC brings to your job site and mistaken the value they place on their time for a mark up on materials.  

Just a lot of systems, paperwork organization, and staying abreast of/within the law (required notices, addendums, etc.).3) The screening criteria we use:650 credit score or aboveIncome 3x the monthly rentNo pets (depending on the property)No smokingNo evictions, notices to comply, or money owed to landlords in the past 12 monthsProof of income and financial responsibilityAdditional:First, last, and security deposit due at signing750+ credit score does not require last month rent (helps incentivize quality tenants)Best of luck!

Out of curiosity, which neighborhood is the property, and how is it performing?

Which neighborhood are you in?

I've come across areas, even neighborhood that seem to attract or even cater to professionals that change jobs and relocate all through out the year.

There are a lot of young families in this neighborhood.

The subject property is zoned Neighborhood Conservation (NC). 

If you're going to keep it a rental, you want to "maintain to the neighborhood", NOT your personal preferences (or that of your siblings).What's the estimated cost of any required repairs?
