@Jonathan Partsch, have your contractor to take measurements of the kitchen and take pictures if you want a visual of the space to help you understand it better.

A good realtor knows what is working in their markets and what is not so you should have one on your team as a trusted advisor.Buy and holds are a whole different dynamic, every investor has their own tolerance for what they want in buy and holds... some like cheaper property that have good cash flow today and do not appreciate that much over time and others are willing to accept less cash flow today from more expensive property but theses homes appreciate more over time.

I’ve read many books on RE and have watched countless webinars but I’m more of a visual learner.

I may be doing it wrong, but my prices are dynamic, lower during the week, a little higher on the weekends, lower in November, a little higher in December and around the holidays where people take their vacations, etc.

Our tech scene may not yet truly rival that of the Bay Area, but the California markets are quickly pricing themselves out of some promising young talent - talent that has started looking east for lower overheads and a more dynamic, inclusive, culture.

Generally speaking, the more dynamic the data, you'll lean more towards a database. 

Huge change in requirements...still a net increase in jobs.https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2017...I may be wrong, but I am betting on technology.   

For those of you who're interested, I completed my ADU project and you can see the 3D visualization of my place here: https://my.matterport.com/models/hRAxQheq93H?

I switched my policy from homeowner to a landlord policy, and the insurance agent told me the company would be sending out someone to visually inspect the home.

The dynamic makes for a unique RE market where you can have a million dollar vacation home next door to a hippie commune.
