I attended a couple of those and found them very useful, but they stopped doing them at the beginning of the pandemic and to my knowledge did not resume.

It was during the height of the pandemic so that might have played a role in my experience.

I know there are still many real estate owners out there that are struggling from the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Aftershocks of pandemic still linger in this areaTurnover out-of pocket costs 3-5K  while it sits vacant (fortunately never sits long +next to some desirable amenities.Take time to advertise / arrange showings / find qualified tenants. 

I think you bring a good point of just trying it out for myself to see if it's something I can deal with..A lot of these sites have seen a lot traction I'm assuming from the pandemic.  

If they won't, 60 days notice, and start the party.Disclaimer: Georgia has been open and reopening from the pandemic for over a year, I have absolutely no idea where Cali is in this whole can't evict thing, and I do know you're about the most tenant friendly state there is.

On the issue that just arrived today, the entire front page is "Skyrocketing Housing Prices".Some of the points made in the article are: “What we are living with now is a result of and reaction to the Great Recession”“Add to this whole mix the pandemic, and it is the low-wage earning service workers that have been most hurt and that causes a really big disparity in income”“Sellers have become accustomed to asking over the market value and getting it”“There is going to have to be more affordable housing, bottom line”"the city is discussing developer incentives to set aside a number of units in development for workforce housing; revitalizing older neighborhoods"Here is a link to the full article Low inventory leads to rising housing prices across Chandler, East Valley | Community ImpactWhat are your thoughts?

This is because those buyers flush with cash who are inflating the market, largely by their flight out of cities that they have long hated living in but had to until the pandemic and the new work from home era, those buyers tend not to be interested in "fixer uppers" but will gravitate toward the turn-key properties in crime-safe (not necessarily class A but crime-safe) areas. 

Not sure what to make of the market right now and still learning the area- hard to get a sense of it moving here during a pandemic.
