Take lots of photos and make your rules extremely clear.

Though nobody can predict where the San Diego market is headed, it's extremely likely both home values and rents will continue their upward trajectory for the foreseeable future.

Originally, I was extremely debt averse and was working to aggressively payoff all debt. 

Enjoy your dayBennie  I agree that some appraisers turn in extremely questionable appraisals.

And in periods like we have now, in most places in the country - where appreciation is crazy - the gap between assessed value and asking price will seem even more extreme. 

If you go through a property management company, it's extremely likely their rentals will show on Zillow due to crawling, and of course other sources.There is such high demand for rentals throughout most of Arizona, that it borders on desperation for many soon-to-be tenants, and landlords hold the cards, not the renters.

I've tried calling on a few brokers in that area to see if they would know and I haven't found anyone who knew let alone some who didn't know what a cap rate was, its a little disappointing but I won't stop unit I get it. by the way I know how to calculate a cap rate for a particular property(NOI/value) I'm particularly looking for the "Market cap"?

Another piece to remember, particularly in the current supply chain we are living with: lead times can be extremely long.  

Fast forward, our unit was restored and renovated, we rented it out to a great tenant who moved out after a year, complaining that the upstairs neighbor was creepy and had been extremely loud the whole time.

Both Kevin Sellers and Joel have been extremely helpful throughout the entire process and I plan on working with them again.
