With rents running $2,600 people compare them to fancier Manhattan units.

Alternatively, if you don't pay at the beginning of the month I'm pretty sure it will get their attention.Caution: things that are merely annoying may not be grounds for withholding rent or breaking your lease.

@Paul Caputo good point, abandonment studies are often not done at all as they fly under the radar a bit as compared to cost segs.

It's not cheap, but it looks relatively cheap compared to stuff in Culver City, Westchester areas and of course way cheaper than a place like Venice Beach.

Unless you're getting a screaming deal such that the extra $67/month won't put a dent in your return, I would just move on and look for another one.I focus on south city nearer to "the hill" which is relatively high ground.

I like to think I run fairly conservative estimates (at least compared to the projections we use where I work).

However I do plan on living in the property temporarily so if I use traditional financing I can get into the property for as little as 3% down ($2400 compared to $40,000) with the current interest rates at around 4.75% for 30 years.

You need to be careful on where you’re purchasing, having a team on the ground here in KC is very Important.
