They seem structured to only provide the full escrow service.I'm in Northern CA.

Deferred maintenance, one-time hits like roof, heater, kitchen rehabs?

Here in Northern California, with standard ranch houses oftentimes pushing $1mil or more, spending a couple thousand on staging is not unreasonable and is quite common.

Ikea furniture is what I would call economically stylish - it looks ok and doesn't hit the pocketbook too hard but if I'm buying a trendy high end condo, I'm certainly looking for nicer furniture than I can get at Ikea.

Most good deals never even hit the market brokers, appraisers and agents grab them.

If anyone has any information regarding this market, please post here!

I am looking on information regarding how the rental properties are doing in this area.

Thanks!

And I live in Northern Texas, so can't help you with that either, however, I always recommend working with an agent verses a company that finds investment properties just because an agent may work on commission, but they are looking with you in mind, a company is looking to move their own properties, or properties that they have some sort of connection with and you may be passing by a great opportunity next door, but would never know it unless you had a person looking at the whole picture and not just their interest.

They just have to hit numbers.

Overall effect should be less comodity hitting the world market.

Many of the "experience" investors are not really into the topic being presented but rather are at the back of the room, off to the side, etc just networking, talking and telling "fish" stories.When it comes to knowing who is serious and not, Josh hits it right.
