No worries...yes, it seems like a lot of investors starting out usually have around the $50k mark to get going...its a solid amount of capital to start with if you are looking at residential MF properties.Appreciation is market specific as a first filter, zip specific as a second filter, neighborhood specific to base decisions on, and block or street specific to actually get accurate.Appreciation is usually predictable, even though most folks consider it "icing on the cake"...it is important to consider.

I know I personally had no desire to escape to another urban environment (other than a moment of wishing I could experience Venice when there were no other tourists <grin>).If we are able to bring the pandemic under control by summer 2021, I suspect there will be a lot of pent up energy to visit all the vibrant destination cities around the world that were closed down and not at all vibrant in 2020.And, yes, we were able to purchase the 200 Airbnb IPO Directed Shares.

As I mentioned before, the property is on the main street of the town and is in a prime location for vehicle traffic.

Unless your apartment is light years better in terms of condition as compared to any others available, why wouldn't I just rent from the landlord down the street who is only requiring 2 months upfront? 

Then when you are driving around and find a neighborhood you should recognized the street names and have an idea of prices..  

That is the last day I think I fully understood my real estate tax situation.Sometime early January, the neighbor across the street from our primary residence let us know he was planning to move. 

.- No 100 year old buildings - No up/down duplexes- Nothing in Portsmouth (search BP and you will learn why)- No flood zones unless the property is on a crawl- Norfolk neighborhoods to avoid - Huntersvillle, Old Huntersville and street by street in Berkeley.

In regards to the specific property in Torrance you were looking at, that's a new construction next to a Jiffy Lube and across the street from an oil refinery.

Many times the LLC is named the street address of the property to make it easier to keep track.
