Think I will still exclude the urban areas built at the turn of the last century though.

They had mentioned that around 10 of them are total teardowns, so my first order of business would be to get them off the lot so they are no longer "attractive nuisances" and potentially look at the Century 21 program for getting new homes on that I have seen discussed a couple of times in this forum.  

It’s a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Charles DuBois mid-century modern architectural with a little over 2200 square feet.

(They are newer construction and this is early 19th century) It would be a short sale even though it's priced below the assessed value and will require considerable rehab. 

>I think you'd be hard pressed to get anything to cash flow there with a decent ROI.Multiple sources indicate there is no market that has produced better ROI for the buy n hold investor than San Francisco for this century. 

Currently looking at Prominence and Century Communities.

However, this does not take into account price appreciation which historically on commercial property has averaged 5 - 6 % over the last half century.

Or buy 1 property a year/decade/century.

The mid century modern style similar to the palm springs area is pretty popular here and a pool is a must.

Since I rent to a good number of millennials who are very much in tune with electronic processing, I figured it was time to bring the business into this century.
