Amazes me how quickly things have changed around here.This building is old, but that area of Colfax has some historic significance (even Jack Kerouac has history there).  

Historically, properties have doubled in value every 10 years, let's say your property doubles in value in 20 years.

Historical information about any last assessments and what they were for would be helpful as well.How long have the tenants been in the property?

There is, in fact, historical occupancy rates dating back two years on the airdna charts.

I conservatively use 2%, because 3% is the historical average.

Syndication pros and cons-could be a Ponzi scheme-passive-better returns on early investments, but less potential for a home run-less learning for me since I don't get to make the mistakes-recommend by a savvy real estate guy I trust-seem like a better option for our of town purchasing when I get there If I can make 10-20% per year, with an average year on the upper side (my speculative numbers, not historic numbers from them yet), but as a direct investor could lose it all to an upside if 25 or 30% but with a full time job equivalent, I'd rather the passive.

My other two homes are near downtown in the historic district, these are scattered all over.

It is far too easy to tell you it is harder in Socal and give up..... just understand it is more profitable historically ( #1 since 2000 nationally for flow and equity) and that is partly why it is harder.

I wonder if any orher BP members use this service or can recommend a course of action to obtain occupancy rates and historical data by zip code.

Even though that's a historically normal interest rate, it still scares most owner occupants away.
