@Kumar R. just offering a referral fee won't get you much.It's just a cherry on top whatever cake you've been making in your market!

I live in anaheim California, when it's hot out, my upstairs apartment seems to trap all the heat inside since the ceiling is wood beams, it gets so bad that even if I open up all the windows and doors, no air flows through here.

So I get good mental exercise here, or try to, while getting some added REI "fix" and if I can get challenged that's just extra credit, as is learning something new is icing on the cake. 

I am in the process of getting my GC license for Jeffco and while not a cake walk, it's not horrible.

The Annual Allowable Rent Increase effective August 1, 2024 - July 31, 2025 is based on the lesser of 4% or the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan area.

Anaheim is a great location if you can get a short term rental permit

I recommend that, instead, investors view appreciation as icing on the cake, a bonus that will assist in the investment but is not the basis of that investment.

That's a have your cake and it eat it too situation...you want a no money down, no risk to you, and keep 100% of the equity situation.

For me Appreciation is icing on the cake and an after thought as I have NEVER concerned my self about APPRECIATION.  

We wanted to start in Anaheim being so close to Disney and LA and Hollywood and all that but there's so many restrictions.
