I agree there are cash buyers but that doesn’t make up for the historic quantity of buyers that are in the sidelines.

>I've never heard that it's a financially sound decision to buy a property being in a negative cash flow hoping it'll appreciate enough and rents going up enough. historically this has been a 100% sound decision meaning true in all cases) for coastal CA for a 10 year or longer hold going back at least 60 years.  

Purchase price: $105,000 Cash invested: $175,000 Sale price: $407,500 Purchased this historical home with a tree through the rear and it was condemned.

They mentioned that they are in the process of accusation of this historically student housing complex it is actually about 74 units but asked that we rent them out on a per room basis, they asked if we had any recommendations for managers we let him know that we are smaller but have real-estate experience with portfolios and other managing aspects.

It historically is a slow source of return.

Don't just go for the obvious, but maybe something less obscure for the area (local sports teams, state flag colors, historic sites nearby, etc.).

Are there any recourses to learn more about my specific area (average prices, average rents, website to find housing listings, historical housing prices, etc.).

Appreciation has been historically good though.

It is in historic and requires special permitting for renovation.

My final comment on subject to is that while historically the instances of the note being accelerated for violation of due on sale are few, the present/future has and is changing in two significant ways.
