Another way to look at this is its 2% down from the high... 

There is very strong appreciation over the last few years even with the high interest rates. 

Due to high rate of inflation, we are adding 3% to the total.Due to rising energy prices, we are adding 3% to the total. in order to provide our workers health insurance we are adding 5% to the total. 

The PPC landscape is highly competitive, mastering it can bring excellent results if it aligns with your budget and closing capabilities.

@J Shoe I will start by saying consult with a personal attorney and CPA (and have them work together.)Typically people buy in an LLC just to keep their name off the record and for asset protection and operation agreements.As a sole investor a lot of people will buy in their personal name so they can more easily obtain quality financing, and then move the asset into the LLC.A lot of people of California use trusts (DSTs) to hold the asset, so they are not contributing to the problem of over taxation in CA, as CA has a franchise filing fee of $800 every year for each LLC.Just some things to think about, but find the professionals that can tailor a system for you personally.Cheers

I know personal letters would take more time and cost more money, but I would rather send out less of higher quality then more at lower quality.Having said all of that I would recommend that you tell everyone you interact with that you are a real estate investor and tell them what kind of properties you buy.

ADU, HVAC, fixtures, appliances?  

Buy low and Sell high.  

High S.F.

Margins aren't high enough.
