Also make sure to build on a property located in a desirable location with larger pop density and if holding for rentals, charge median rent for that market as lenders want to see a bigger pool of buyers/renters available to occupy/sell. 

@Roman Balmakov If you are planning on holding the property long term and have enough reserves to cover even worst case scenarios it could still be worth it. 

I had 2 or 3 called.Now again keep in mind I had zero interest in holding these as rentals and I ONLY bought homes that had significant equity for me.. mainly all pre foreclosures..

If you are setting aside funds for capex, taxes, insurance, or other expenses that don't occur monthly, transfer those funds to Savings each month and hold them there until it's time to spend them.

What is currently holding you back from other markets? 

What are the costs for the value adds, the expected hold time, and the expected sale price? 

Which may also be a reason to hold on to your current place (appreciation).Second, have you been in your primary at least two years.

I don’t know what license you hold, but if I make a claim like that in a public forum against other lawyers, at minimum I am facing an ethics complaint.

We have long terms holds in Shasta and Tehama county.

It’s ideal for investors with some experience in real estate who are comfortable managing renovations and dealing with tenants.If you're a beginner, you might want to start with a simpler buy-and-hold strategy or partner with experienced investors who can guide you through the BRRRR process.
