@Joseph McKinney This is one of those emotional topics that are sometimes hard to overcome with facts and numbers.

When I get to San Antonio, I'm going to dive in much deeper and definitely take advantage of everything the pro membership has to offer.

If finding and keeping on top of contractors is one of those pain points, we'd definitely take a deeper look at that issue.

A deeper market for the ownership interests and the increase in investor liquidity is expected to be accompanied by an increase in value. 

Fresno could be  good option for a bit higher cap rates, possibly some of the areas deeper in San Bernardino County (Victorville, Hesperia etc), or the Riverside area (one you get an hour or so out of LA county, going towards Coachella area.However, if what you want is cash flow, as opposed to appreciation, CA is not the place to look, as compared to out of state.

Honestly you can sue all you want, but my thoughts are they will win, you will give it back, and at the end of the day you will be more upset over it all.Real estate is buying and selling, take emotion out of it.

Having a basement doesn’t seem to increase the rent by that much but I will dig deeper 

The MLS is hard for investor deals right now, mostly because, as Becca mentioned, there aren't enough homes for the people moving here so owner-occupy buyers are more emotionally attached and will to spend more than an investor typically is. 

I'm saying to put some thought into the reinvention and don't dig a deeper hole for yourself during the process, rather dig on out of the one you are in first.

Sounds like you're getting too emotional.
