Further analysis should be done once I weed out all of the bad apples using the 50% Rule.With my current deal, although in the short term there will be a negative cashflow of about $150 - $200 /month (mostly because of PMI), it is still a favorable deal for me so far.

They will also give preference to owner-occupant bids over investor bids if they are apples to apples.They will not necessarily go with the first offer.

I think the biggest mistake some people make when trying to make an apples-to-apples comparison is that they do not put a fair value on their time.

Apple, AT&T, Walmart etc. 

NOTE: When getting bids, make sure they are bidding the same types of appliances, same quality cabinets, finishes, etc. so that you are comparing apples to apples!

Not an apples to apples comparison to my ADU opportunity but that is the alternative investment I have been considering.The info on Beaumont Wilshire was just to paint a picture of where I'm located and the general market conditions here.  

If something seems too good to be true....i.e. a much lower price, something is probably missing from the bid or is not apples to apples.  

Not apples to apples. 

I think what he needs to realize is when you build a community and a bad apple infects the rest, it's all going to come down. 

Merry Christmas,I use Quickbooks Online to manage the finances and not the most professional but Apple reminders for the maintenance tasks.
