Thought about doing hard oak core and cheaper doors myself as some tenants aren't always delicate and i understand the do it right the first time.

Also, assembling your Core 4 Real Estate Team is crucial for navigating the process effectively.

Find your core-4: Realtor, Lender, GC, and PM.

I suggest reading this BP article on the core 4.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-teamIt's risky to start out with a BRRRR, especially if you don't have capital for reserves. 

The city is pretty pro housing especially close to the urban core as this property is.   

In San Diego over the last 10 years I have had average rent growth on some years of $700 (source core logic) and I believe every year has been over $100.Virtually all MLS properties in my market bleed cash.  

This sounds compelling, David.

This will be your Core 4.

I suggest learning about long distance investing, building your core 4, and looking into markets that are forecasting appreciation. https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-team

I can barely get firms to look at columbus with 10x years of experience thats mostly for ground up. the average house cost is still less than 100k which means you have a lot of houses to tear down still to create a housing shortage. the economics don't make it favorable for any type of investing but turn key or maybe ground up in the urban core which works in any city. but compare any of these cities, I'll take Indianapolis, Chicago, Minneapolis, and columbus and Milwaukee and pass on the rest.
