@Roberta Allen - i purchased with the upgrades.

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'm currently in process of purchasing a home in Kyoto, Japan and wanted to connect with other US Citizens who also own investment properties in Japan.

The buyer agreed to cover the cost of the new appraisal, which came in significantly above the purchase price.

Purchase price: $500,000 Cash invested: $100,000 AirBNB in West Sacramento

These methods include: Detailed Engineering Cost ApproachDetailed Engineering Cost Estimate ApproachSurvey or Letter ApproachResidual Estimation ApproachSampling or Modeling ApproachExperience or “Rule of Thumb” ApproachIt’s important to understand the differences between the approaches including which one best fits your property and the reliability of each approach.DETAILED ENGINEERING COST APPROACHThis approach compiles the costs from construction and accounting reports to build a report.

Congratulations on the purchase!

First time investor, hoping to obtain my first duplex soon, and this family land purchase is on the horizon as well.

I don't try to evict based on neighbor complaints as those aren't super reliable and the people likely won't show up to court. 

I'm currently in single family homes and apartment buildings in central and west Texas but have been evaluating a few residential assisted living homes + business / license to purchase in Austin and San Antonio.
