I would say on a rental property that's unrealistic, if it really is an issue on a property, better to address the root cause.

I'm a bit of a nomad who doesn't like to put roots down too deep ;)

That being said, there’s nothing wrong with investing in blue collar areas but I prefer to invest in the ones that have a higher degree of owner occupancy because the residents of those areas care about where they live and have deeper roots.  

It sounds like you're in a solid position, and taking the time to stabilize before moving on to the next deal is a smart approach.

You’ve already got a solid foundation—understanding market trends, deal structuring, and negotiations will give you a great head start.I would recommend focusing on learning one niche at a time.

All it needs now is a little TLC to bring it to life—think fresh paint, new fixtures, etc.The cabinets, floors, and walls are all in good shape, so you’ve got a solid starting point.

The property is located on St Augustine Beach and other STRs have high occupancy rates, solid ADRs and are very profitable when managed correctly.

I haven’t seen many value-add products, but there are solid options on the DSCR side.

I understand your situation—investing in LA at today’s prices makes it tough to find solid returns.
