A.I. says I’m cutting it close.

As others say, make it crystal clear in your listing that the "shells may cut a dog's paws, and we don't allow pets." 

My piece of advice would be to research emerging neighborhoods and focus on areas with strong job growth and infrastructure development. 

There's so many catalysts for population and job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Hospital, etc).

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Our Newport condo has consistently been rated highly, and we have been using the same cleaning crew since XXXX because they have consistently done a great job.

Just use google maps and you can do a good job counting the number and size of units.  

Do you have a PM or is this your job now?

Please keep us posted as you and so many in SoCal are experiencing genuine hardship (whether it's the loss of a home, belongings, jobs, etc.).
