Haven't done LTR though, I like that the tenants are new, fresh and employed so far and haven't had much incidents.

I’m 22, fresh out of college with a full time job.

Good luck "By the way I believe you can succeed in both markets (high cash flow/low appreciation & low cash flow/high appreciation) but best odds are if you are intimate with the market."100% agreed and there are many ways to skin a cat (Sorry to the animal activists) hahaHaving the intimate market knowledge as you mention and an end goal will keep an investor on the path forward.Time is a beautiful teacher and will eventually reveal what strategy was best.Much success

A Stanford study revealed that over 75% of the ADUs built in San Jose between 2016 and 2020 did not have a permit and are therefore illegal housing units.The lengthy permitting process, high construction costs, and shortage of tradespeople are some of the factors motivating property owners and contractors to take on the risk of building, renting to tenants, and/or housing family & friends in an illegal unit.

Now in our timber deals with that demographic it could take months and a lot of fresh and smoked salmon and if it was elk season some fresh steaks and jerky would win the day.. this is the PNW of course :)  I also got a lot of timber deals by advertising on the Christian radio station..

I would start by removing carpet and cleaning what you can, paint and then ozone as long as it takes.Ozone is cheap, but with fresh paint and new carpet it might ad up to $10k.

The recession is still in fresh in the eyes of hoteliers.

Do the walls need a good cleaning or a fresh coat of paint?
