You can easily do this on a spreadsheet, and it will take less time to track than finding and learning new software.

Info pulled off MLS directly.We are now in that time of year where school has begun and, cyclically, real estate cools down for a little while.

You will have to spend considerable time and energy getting familiar with a new market whereas if you stick with the original one you appear to have enough capital to get started right away on a new building.

Experience in the market - how much time and what type of product?

I spent a lot of time to find the locks and now need manufacture to come out to install the lock5.

Hi BP members, my name is David and I'm a full time RE investor in the Fremont, CA area.

Hi Steve, long time no converse here on BP. 

There are several niches that we will explore and focus in order to be successful, but we have found that we typically see returns of 2-5 times of our original investment.The challenge with entitlement is there's definitely quite a bit more risk involved as well as a very complicated process (hence the higher return). 

I think there may be some condo rules/by-laws that prohibit this (that when a unit is purchased it needs to be owner occupied first and a for a certain amount of time before renting).

We could see less homes come on the market as well as duplexes that sit for longer periods of time before going into contract.
