And most tourists wind up going to Waikiki.

The sheer scale of the economies of scale have proven to work really well for us but i appreciate this may not on the surface seem as attractive as no up front contribution but at least you get to keep 100% of returns and are not tied up for any length of time.

I figured it would attract plenty of military personnel since it's minutes from MCAS Miramar (formerly NAS Miramar).

My guy charges $36 for ants, reaches, rodents or whatever other pests my tenants have attracted.

With housing and construction costs so high here, these seem like an attractive alternative, if they can actually be shipped in for a sensible cost...and our significant Asian population seems attracted to smaller, more efficient floorplans.

A few hundred dollars to avoid an eviction down the road is well worth it.Craigslist, yard signs and local newspapers attract weirdos.This is just based on my experience and my protege's.

I guess my biggest questions are: How can I raise the ARV and how can I best attract a lender that will lend for my retail flips within this community?

The town is one which had lost most of its best and brightest, and which had a hard time attracting investment.

Most of these areas fall under Naperville school dist which makes this neighborhood more attractive for renters and new buyers.feel free to pm me with any question or need any help. 

One of the places I'm exploring is setup as I described above, with each building having a different address number (but still being part of the same lot from what I can see on the county assessor's website).My internal debate right now is whether I should explore this property any further, or set my sights on 4-unit or smaller buildings where financing rates might be more attractive.
