Let your tenants go do not make this experience more painful to the point of having property red tagged.

The numbers on this map are a mirror image of the Trulia crime maps - not much of a surprise here: rents are generally higher in Trulia green areas, then yellow, orange and red.

I don't know Auburn at all but prices seem way lower there than the west side of syracuse.As to your concern about success rate, not sure where that number comes from but I have not had any more trouble renting units in the city or out so that feels like a red herring to me.

In Redding, CA I am trying to get a separate meter installed on an ADU unit.

If that red wall is redgard coating, and you're going to tile it, I'd say before you do that go all in: open the wall, and replace the whole valve with a modern one where the cartridge is easily replaceable.

That's a big red flag to me as a buyer because a flip should be turn key in my opinion.

What you are seeing is the garage and driveway outside of the red lines on the top and the house is RIGHT up against the property line....Here is zoomed in image link: https://imgur.com/a/3Ivgs

You can't just put $200,000 cash in the bank without it raising red flags.

You may think that it's paranoid, but as a real estate investor with an unusual name, you will have buyers and sellers and tenants google you, just to see if there are any hot buttons or red flags or whatever.

I've waded off into those waters before, although in an area that was incorporated so there was much more red tape(i.e. money).
