Mount Pleasant, SC is close to beautiful beaches and is a "hot" market right now with expected growth.

I also had to show locations of the FAU's and how they were mounted in the attic and crawl space.I can email you my set if it would help for you to look at them to get an idea of what is needed to be approved by Los Angeles county building department.

There is upward pressure on price.  

In some of the less desirable areas of the boroughs, the market rent can be less than the regulated rent, so there is less pressure.  

Showing up with a contract in hand, the first time you meet somebody, and trying to pressure them into signing it??

It also appears that Mount Pleasant has been poised for growth and has really exploded.

From a rental perspective there is an oversupply at the moment which is putting pressure on older, less efficient and under maintained properties (in terms of vacancy).  

Together (for both houses), the total rehabbing would be 23,000. this includes roofing, painting, pressure washing, electrical, floors, bathroom re-vamps, landscaping, ceiling work, doors, fixtures. the 9!

I had actually heard the PAN HANDLE cold get really cold sometimes, and put downward pressure on seasonal rents, so I guess going above alligator alley isn't so bad after all.

On unpainted pressure treated steps to the front door, he found too much lead.
