We are targeting West Sac, Natomas, Oak Park, and some other areas of Sacramento metro. 

I like to get a minimum of 15% COC return on rentals that I buy (which equates to me finding maybe 2-3 deals per year to consider in my target area). 

YoY is down 4%.Rentals - Months of SupplyOnly one month of supply for our target rental property profile.

Make sure you aren’t targeted by a professional tenant that targets mom and pop landlords, especially in states like CA/NY.

Look for an agent with a proven track record of successfully selling properties in your target market.

This would be a great area to target right now in my opinion.

I think for Grand Rapids you want to target a property that simply isn't suited for an owner occupant who will need a loan in its condition. 

I target C to C+ class hoods which appreciate the most and have higher demand with good cash flow from day one.

I don't think too many donors would be excited to start donating to a non profit if they find out the target audience is still paying FMV rent, and the person running the organization is collecting FMV management fees in his own pocket. 

I would also consider what is your target audience, is it bachelorette parties, wedding guests, wine tour guests, casino goers, etc?
