This is all speculation at the end of the day as to which neighborhoods do better than other at the end of the day, but I have a great gut feeling on it.

There are some  pitfalls to be aware of. 1. there is enough cash from the refi to add to the purchase to justify this complex structure2. the timing needs to be pin point, meaning the closing of the purchase is the same day as the closing of the refi.Something to add to the tool box if this move adds value to the transaction. 

The other day a property manager friend of mine sent me this survey that she received from a company called Propel that after completing it has been sending her a list of cash flowing properties that came on the market in the last 24 hours...

Have a great day as well 😊

They would not give me tenant contact info so I had to next day a letter to them with proof that we now own it, so the tenant would call me.

If another agent gave you the data, depending on the form in which they did could have violated their terms of servicePast MLS data diminishes in value by the day as one needs up to date information

At the end of the project my partners bought me out at market price and they held the property till this day as an investment.

Going to the Beach is another 60-mile day as the city of Malibu is 23 miles long meeting someone for lunch or coffee each day adds up. 

Yeah, prob way over $1500 ( but we dont know the specifics of the house) I used to do Home Inspections back in the day, as a General Contractor and NACHI Certified and generally the Realtor recommended me to the buyer.
