Still no economy to support the increase in home prices, so needless to say we got hit pretty hard in the Crash...Other drawback to the area since there is a shortage of Economy up here, would be the Commute time up and down the Cajon Pass, 4000' elevation climb in just a few miles, " the Pass" has been know to ruin a brand new car before you are even done paying it off, so figure in a new car payment if you are thinking about commuting to work from here...

Yesterday, I posted my standard notice on the front door advising the occupants that the place has been sold, to call me, and that if I don't hear back, I may initiate an unlawful detainer or if the place is vacant that I may change the locks, along with a copy of the deed.The property looks barely habitable (hot water heater is on the back porch (which looks like it's about to fall off its rotted post foundation), sheets of drywall and plywood out front, tons of beer cans and collection notices on the front door, and rotted siding/wood on one side of the house.
Cody Rigby First Time Investment : Duplex->Triplex/4plex conversion
6 April 2024 | 5 replies
Taking away the garage from the existing tenants will lower the rents on those units.Currently they are:4 bed 2 bath rent = $2,000 3 bed 1.5 bath rent = $1,600I think the 4 bed 2 bath is the one with the partial conversion, and three units might look like:3 bed 1.5 bath = Rent $1,500 (no garage)1 bed 1 bath = Rent $1,1003 bed 1.5 bath with garage = $1,600Don’t be misled by the 6.6 cap rate in the listing, they are just using gross rents which is incorrect. 30% (25% expenses and 5% vacancy is standard in our market), and this is really a 4.7% cap rate.

John McKee The ups and downs of a single tenant NNN Lease property
6 April 2024 | 19 replies
You could say they are FDIC insured to an extent but claims to be made whole on a failed bank to get reimbursed by the FEDS can take a very long time in some cases.The NNN even if return was 5% you have hopefully property appreciation value long term, tax depreciation against the asset, rental increases, etc. you do not get with the bank.So my clients unless they are buying say a 6 million and up single tenant where I can land 7 plus cap rate above the debt a little those smaller deals sub 4 million do not work unless they are paying all cash or have a tiny loan like 25% LTV so the high interest rate does not affect cash flow that much.So what if someone HAS TO buy with 1031 for large taxes.
