Hi everyone,I’m in the process of closing on a property in El Cajon (zip code 92020) with RM2200 zoning and enough space to add ADUs.

My property is in the Homewood/Vestavia area...35216 area code. 

My friend said his client nearly bailed when she found unexpected wiring issues behind the kitchen walls..apparantly the seller hadn’t touched that electrical since the Reagan era..but with a patient electrician who understood the local code and a carpenter who improvised a shelving trick in the diningrom, they ended up selling above asking.Flipping and building can get tricky, especially once you start thinking bigger.

I could also argue that building costs and building codes change over time.

We had enough rich friends hear what we were doing; it felt like we cracked a code - a vacation property that made money.

But there will be fewer of them, they’ll be paid for direct client service instead of self-promotion, and there will be many fewer big earners and low earners.

It will provide you with zip code level of market rents, rental demands per metro markets.

All said, you will find many folks within these forums that are strong promoters of self-directed IRAs.

How did you decide which neighborhood/street/zip code to start with?

If you would like a referral code or more information please let me know.
