After a guest mentioned that they had trouble finding us when they arrived after dark, I added a new house number at the end of the house closest to the driveway, which is lit by the street light. 

probably the closest comp to yours that sold around the same price/sq.ft https://www.redfin.com/NE/Beat...your location is def not great being right next to a car wash and on a main town road. staging would've probably helped you sell it back in the summer time, as well as cleaning up the siding up front (unless that's just shade and/pr picture quality). some of the paint work is sloppy inside (pic #14 from redfin) and you left the wood paneling... should've just painted right over those. why is the bathtub covered?

Once you have an address you should be able to call the local building/zoning department to see if the property qualifies.These are the first two things to figure out.Regarding ARV, this could be tricky, but most investors/agents will use the closest similar property that was sold in the area, 1 mile radius, preferably with an ADU, but total sqft may also be comparable.Hope this helps!

A few more thoughts.I do like the 4144 Hyde Ave because it is the closest in quality and condition, to how yours WILL BE.

We'd probably have to look further outside of Collier Heights to pull in more renovated properties, but then neighborhood becomes a factor.We have the closest three non-investor properties in your vicinity going for between 132 and 250.

@Sam Rust Why eat a steak when you can eat the whole cow in one bite?

So what's the closest area I could look for?

That's the closest I could go and make positive cash flow.

The closest regular meetup seems to be the SacREIA down in Sacramento.

@Stephen Brown Hi Stephen 👋 I missed this post I believe I could have been in Colombia the prior week you were there..There is a great potential here for Geopolitical reasons: Colombia is the Closest.
