I like many out of state markets as long as you choose correctly and you can scale to your 10 doors quickly.. if your going to buy one or two I would do everything I could to get some prime slice of the Bay Area pie.Even just buying a lot or two in the bay area you sit on with NO CASH flow is a great investment in my mind.

You can have a repair man go out ($45+ a call) or learn how to do the "easy" fixes yourself.

If you research and they like say apples I’d cut some slices and put the peanut butter on them to avoid a mess or whatever.

That is a cardinal sin.You should look at marketing the same way you look at the contents of a fruit salad.In a fruit salad if the only ingredient in the bowl were apple slices one would have a hard time calling it a fruit salad and only those who liked apples would enjoy the presentation.

Any thoughts on slicing and dicing these options ? 

I'm guessing the Abodo is a thinner slice of the picture since they are focusing apartments. 3) At any rate this type of data is important and should be monitored for impacts to projected rents and vacancy rates.Thanks for sharing. 

Pick which path you want to go.Blink by Malcolm Gladwell: you can make informed decisions in a blink of an eye because of what Gladwell calls “thin-slicing”So, what does this mean for us as real estate investors?

I'm sorry that's not what you want to hear- but you can try to slice it however you'd like but it's been made clear by the IRS in countless seminars on the topic that properties already owned in QOZ offer no benefit. 

In general the RE market is hot, pretty much any way you slice it.

If you try to cut that into little slices the temptation is strong to start pushing each one lower and lower to convince yourself to buy a marginal property.
