My plumber found out by inserting a camera that my city sewer pipe has roots in it which is causing my house sewer to back up.

Interesting to see Los Angeles appreciation so low as a region as I'm seeing double digit rent and value increases in my neighborhood.  

Most of the suburbs have seen double digit increases and have now caught up to 2006 values.

@Daniel Holbrook,  Private money for industrial buildings is not going to be below the double digit rate or a higher LTV. 

I also look for it to throw off at least 6% by year 2 and climbing to 8% or greater by year 3, and getting to double-digits by year 5.I also look at the IRR over a 10 year hold, 5 year hold, and 3 year hold, looking for at least a 14% IRR (net to investor after all splits and fees) over 10 years and higher IRRs for the shorter holds. 

Hi @Michele G.Here's a BP blog post I recently published on how to estimate some common rehab costs:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/72452-how...When I walk through a property, I use this punchlist to ensure that most of the items are accounted for:https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/kubaf/fil...When you're walking through the property make sure that you record the whole thing top to bottom on your camera phone so that you can re-watch it over and over again while you come up with a scope of work.As to your deal numbers, I like that you have a large contingency if this is your first flip. 

"SPOA gone digital" is a deceptive name being used by MassLandlords.

I haven't heard of anyone getting caught, but since airbnb has digital records of your whole history, that could in theory be used in any case the city brings against you.

Responsible people have friends and family who will loan them money to get situated.Speaking of keys, I would install combination locks on the bedroom doors and unhidden security cameras in the hallways. 

or maybe have them on camera?
