Smaller bedrooms and kitchen, bathrooms need to be remodeled.Long and the short of it, 1 is in better condition but not as nice of a street and 2 is outdated and needs to be remodeled and we feel like we could get in at lower price given comps and time on the market Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

you think i am being too nice?

this means, 2 mcdonald workers living together in yucca valley could easily pay $1200/mo for a quality rental.my homes have all increased 10-20% a year for 3 yrs straight - as the few quality inexpensive rentable homes that come up are fought over by investors, new home buyers, airbnb.a sewer assessment going into effect will add 100-150 to the monthly tax burden (along with a few other assessments in the works - school,fire) Bob Armstrong (a realtor in the area) creates a nice email newsletter each month with data/commentary.

Some are nice.  

@Amy Thompson I am going to (surprise surprise) second the opinion of @Dave Foster - while you're getting a nice rent rate here and the appreciation you've already seen is great, those HOA fees are dragging down your ROI.

I think once I got the hang of it, I could make a nice MS Excel spreadsheet that would run the numbers real quick.Another reason why everyone isn't doing it is because you need MONEY (at least a down payment) to do it.

In fact, it would be nice if more people put this exact thought into things because they would quickly realize the properties they are buying aren't actually deals. 

Would be nice to Converse about your method whether it’s buying hold or if it is more of a weekly trade or daily trade process.

I use microwave and small-bag popcorn, Kind bars, a few nice wrapped chocolates and 2 small bottles of water.

If a property will cash flow nicely then you should try to BRRRR it.
