However in these times, I would rather know what the numbers are, or understand how to get to a "strike price" from a rehabber perspective. 

Sometimes, seeing the same situation through a different perspective can be helpful. 

But it gives you a chance to get a fresh start....make your place nicer, replace appliances, new paint, get rid of carpet and replace with LVP, Etc....

From an investment perspective, I'd look to invest in small multi-family 2-4 units with a larger down payment ~50% or more (only way to produce positive cash flow here at the moment) Investing in San Diego right now isn't driven by immediate cash flow.

Give your property a makeover, a fresh coat of paint.

I am in the Port Saint Lucie, Fl market and i have an airbnb that is doing quite well from an income perspective. 

But to put it in perspective I was only making $35,000 a year at my day job. 

Thank you for putting things into perspective @Dominic Mazzarella.

I’m just not sure why you would give your perspective or advice about partnerships to people who do work with partnersThe majority of deals that I do and have done have been with partners.

A fresh coat of paint can do wonders along with cleaning the carpet or using something like rejuvenate on laminate floors.
