Should I target single family or multi family?

I like that you mention the desperate landlords because those are some of the people I would like to target, but have no idea how to do so or where to find them.

There is room for 2 and one can have a car drive up from the alley.I have watched some video programs of very successful mobile and seasonal vendors with good, but simple and targeted, offerings.  

Your choice to remodel or not will depend on what your target market and what your competition is doing. 

Calling on the phone won't get it done to many people have cell phones and when they are in foreclosure they usually have other credit issues and are hounded by collection agencies... you can either mail and hope   or pound on doors and close deals. 

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.Seeya around!

The last quarter (annualized) is 6.7%.The fundamentals and economics are strong for Orange County, however, from an investment perspective (and what we advise our clients), your investment capital can go much further in other markets that have similar or better appreciation potential, while being able to generate positive cash-flow while owning more properties with less land-value risk (depreciation).With a median sales price of $585,000 and median SFD rent of $2,350, the rent-to-value ratio is a mere 0.4% -- far below our minimum target of 1.0%.Thanks Karen.Continued success!
