Working in West Los Angeles.Im pursuing expired listings by calling owners, using a very soft approach, well as you know they are sick of getting hundreds of calls, or they say that they will sell with a good offer but will not list with an agent.I also send out letters and postcards with no success.

But soft looking at it I think it would be nice.

We wanted to avoid credit inquiries because that drops your score and with Prestige their in house underwriters do soft pulls and we like that. 

Those are 99% of hand power tools I use on a reno, I have the brushed versions and love them.

i know i can call and get quotes but they run soft hits on your credit for each one so i'm not looking to have tons of hits on my credit. 

The LA fires are different those hills are solid brush.. for the most part and burn routinely.. 

I would start by reaching out to an agent (perhaps go to your local REIA and ask for suggestions) and ask them to send you multi-family listings.Also, make sure to brush up on your deal analysis, so you can jump on a good deal when it comes along. 

The conversation about leverage shouldn't be brushed over.Positively leveraging an asset is much different than negatively leveraging that asset.Also, you need to factor in how much leverage you have with respect to how big your reserves are.Being 52 means you're half way home, I doesn't mean you're close to retirement.... or that you need to play it safe.

Then if you were to reface and paint, you can change out completely with soft close hinges and doors and new style.

Mortgage $960 and the house is $3200 soft.
