Over the 30+ years I've been investing in Real estate, I've found a few surprises once I peel back the first layer of damage in a rental only to find hidden damage and a much costlier repair waiting.  

Marketing is the vital part of this job.

An extra layer of accountability. 

Hi All, Does anybody have any referrals or might be a layer in the Long Beach, California or north OC costal communities that can help me form a joint venture partnership (we're buying a duplex)? 

It's that taking 1031 money requires a DST, which is a trust, and as per stipulations within a trust the managerial functions are layered with scopes and restrictions.  

To layer that a little deeper, its all about resilient materials, most important NO CARPET!!!!

First determine mortgage type- conventional more likely to have equity while a reverse is more layers of issues.

As I mentioned, we buy as-is, and just a real life example.. we had to fix the roof.. original quote $5K.. great.. except they have to fully re-do the boards, and remove 4 layers of shingles, final price was $11K.. that's the stuff you deal with..  

Infrastructure and location are the two most vital aspects to consider. 

If you layer the crime map over Mesa you will see some things.
