Defects in the good or service may be hidden from the buyer, and only known to the seller.A common way that information asymmetry between seller and buyer has been addressed is through a legally-binding warranty, such as a guarantee of satisfaction.

Hidden Valley Lake is probably the most stable, with Middletown coming in second and Lakeport third. 

I agree it is definitely not all cash flow and sunshine and often the numbers don't tell the whole story with a lot of hidden fee's, high utilities, that you end up finding out later.

One item I think you missed is property taxes...this is the hidden cash flow killer for many OOS folks.

Best wishes, hope you found some gems this year! 

That is the gem in this thread that started with so much negativity and flat out complaining.

It was no delays on their end, and no hidden fees on the end..Kudos guys!

Majority of HOA’s are a deal killer in town , especially with hidden expenses like this years snow removal bill im expecting to get.

There are a few reasons:You aren't experienced in doing the job to make a house turnkey.You don't have the time to invest in overseeing the project.You have more money than time and just want cash-flowing assets.You are out of state and can't handle the extra load that overseeing the project would take.Generally, it looks like 18% (in my area) is the profit that a rehab flipper will make on a project (it's hidden when it's a homeowner but still there). 

it's mind boggling now how crazy it's in the private world of private investment right now, it's just because it's hidden outside public  realm so it's not in newspaper yet, but at least some part of it it's in realdeal and some in insider scoop market statistic, you can't find believe what some of the fund operator do to investor ;-) absolutely crazy imo, it's just I can't tell. being poor and basic landlord is good enough for me lol
