People seem to "escape LA" and move to Palmdale where they can actually afford a house since everywhere else around LA is ridiculous.

In between jobs or else I'd BRRR. 

Everything else looks the same

Andrew D'Souza I believe you are talking about renting out properties from owners and then renting them out to someone else or subletting them right ?

Anyone else having this issue or had it in the past??

I've read about your strong opinions regarding Realtors (I share of those opinions, but I also know that most of my clients will tell you that a great Broker is worth more than anything else in a Real Estate transaction or longterm investment strategy), so I won't suggest that you build a relationship with a Broker who will happily have someone on their team build spreadsheets with the hundreds of names you want.

good modern looks, easy install, reasonably priced and as durable or better then anything else 

Anyone else use zipforms to populate realtor docs from MLS?

How else would I even know what to offer?

This is the value you will be trying to sell to someone else.
