I would be careful investing in certain parts of Oildale.

But first, I would like to cut my teeth on flipping a SFR and hopefully proving to my wife I’m not a fool or crazy or both lol.

Problem with c/d properties it is difficult to find managers that actually care enough to be on issues immediately when they occure.Once you take control and beging to manage your PM you wiill have a better idea as to whether you should find a new one.

Except it turned out to be a life-sized, cardboard cut-out of Luke Skywalker or something.I used to have a cut-out of Nacho Libre in my family room and it would surprise us sometimes.

I personally feel that they dont care.

*HOAs usually cover lawn care, sprinklers, lawn watering, siding and exterior care, insurance, and more                *This covers most of the exterior line items that you would otherwise have to address in a single family home.

Bottom line is it is not theirs so most do not care.

From Health Care and Commercial spaces to SFR and large MF.

Why would you care?  

I would be careful regarding hard goals as you never know what will come up and you don't want to press just to "buy something."
