Hi Anthony,It will look weird if you try to restyle it yourself.It might be wise to talk to an Architect in the area who does SFH work.That way it's more likely that everything will be styled good to the eye and match.You don't want the 1st and second stories looking like flip flops with a tuxedo, or vice versa.Maybe look into Hardy board, and Blue and white really POPs a lot better than beige (but you have to respect the neighborhood styles and colors too).This house is not the same style, but it is an eye popping blue and white.

I remember when I thought it was crazy to call somebody on the phone with a camera, I thought it was futuristic and that my eyes may not see it happening, and now if you ask a kid if he thinks that is always amazing they would tell you that it is completely normal. 

@Thomas B.Sometimes my eyes read quicker than I process information.

Even if they hire a property manager it's still very hard to find deals and you have to go get the loan , keep an eye on it to make sure the property manager is doing their job, Etc

@Sonya Antrobus there are may variables that actually play into this topic then meet the eye. 

I am also eye balling the potential of Chico as I seek to diversify buy and hold multi-res from the SF Bay area.

My family and I come for shopping and lunch, but might as well stay and play while parents get a drink, then end with Ice Cream or smoothies, and if anything maybe hit a movie or something.

Most likely had no reserves.Someone will start back promoting how they can get rich with no money of their own and a new group of doe eyed followers will replace the failed group that preceded them. 

Just have to keep an eye from a distance and make sure all is going well.

When ppl say there is a “high demand but a low supply there... ” I’m curious as to where to find the frameworks for that information.Do you just keep an eye on prices in that area?
