Most of CA is far off the bottom and the easy "easy fruit" is long gone.  

Squeeze every bit of juice out of that lemon.  

Hope you have a fruitful week!  

At the end of the day, the numbers are a factor most certainly...but I've walked from pretty numbers that my gut said were going to be ugly, and I've also grabbed properties that for most would have been a no go because I was content with the appreciation and depreciation while I waited for the cash flow to get juiced up a bit...so it really depends on your goals. 

It will pay of fruitfully in the future as well.

To juice up the return you might fix it up list it for sale and lease, try and lease it fast so you have some rents collected while you wait for it to sell.

Let's please keep BP a great place, I don't know how fruitful discussing/bashing either religion or someone's profession will be.

My tenant used a battery jumper cable end and an alligator clamp to run juice from the overhead wires and around the electric meter.

Like for me I might run 10 million in a year through one title co.. so yes I can get them to override things if its realistic...But the average investor who does a few deals at most is not going to have that kind of juice out here..

Experience and fruitful conversations like this one with people who've been at this a lot longer will solve all of that in time.Each house I get under contract gets inspected and if the scope of work from the inspection comes back with a price point that's just too high to be profitable for my end-buyer, I move on.
