I’ve started casually browsing for properties and at current market valuations it appears most investment properties struggle to meet the 1% rule(probably why they are still on Zillow).

When browsing the listings we see a LOT of properties that say "For Sale over 1 yr ago."

this is why all those Casino's got rebuilt.. this is why many car dealers in Jackson built new facilities this is why commercial went up all over the place.. but downtown did not have a lot of vacant land and still did not have the draw at all to the higher end buying public..

@Rhett Tullis That was what it seemed like when I was browsing listings, but I wasn't sure if that was just my inexperience talking for me.

You have to spend hours out of your day browsing real estate sites, crunching numbers in spreadsheets, and then finally you might find something worthy to look into BUT wait!

If you browse through their marketplace, you will occasionally see commercial real estate deals with 10-15% cash on cash returns in the first year, but potential for 15-20% IRR over the life of the investment.

I've been browsing for a few years, it's a great resource. 

This property I was browsing looks like its only being sold as half of a duplex? 

There's a San Diego specific forum here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/617-san-diego-real-estate-forumYou could browse it to find local discussions and posts on where the local meetups are, like these for example: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/617/topics/751331-any-rei-clubs-in-the-north-san-diego-areahttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/617/topics/742746-looking-for-san-diego-meet-upsThough most meetups are probably on hold right now I'd imagine.  

Taking it to the casino is probably not what they want to hear.
