E.g. good schools in certain zip codes, type of renter demographic in each area, e.g. blue collar, white collar, section 8.

In the Los Angeles area I typically see between $50,000-$75,000 in value for an ADU on an appraisal report.

There are wholesalers in Los Angeles.

STR license are still required in Blue ridge and are fairly easy to get.

For example, I didn't even think to ask about the "leasing season" in Fayetteville, AR because I'm from Los Angeles--every day is leasing season over there.

My name is Neil and I have  recently  worked with my  first  client in setting  up  a  real estate business and in order to get started, I am interested in deal evaluations and making offers as a wholesaler and with creative deals in the Los Angeles area.

Blue County = High taxes, pretty simple :)at $300 a month in taxes that’s a cash flow killer, you will need to go to the board next year and request an adjustment if possible, you may get granted but you will need to have a good report presented to the board with comps that are very similar to yours, but again it will be difficult because your property uncapped and it will never go back.
