There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

I "flipped" the house I used to live in (and rent rooms out of), and currently run an Airbnb in my second house. 

Hi Daniel,What I mean by "bad reputation comes from OOS investors wanting $20k D market properties":This comes from when you hear people talking (including people on the BP podcast sometimes) and they talk about "Detroit" they might say "that's a bad market to invest in" "tenants don't pay" etc...That bad reputation comes largely from inexperienced (often times OOS) investors being attracted to the number of houses for < $50k.

I have a vacant lot that I can build a 1200 SqFt house on.

I moved up here to get a bunch of land to house hack and the trailers are in livable condition. 

If you’re a pet owner, landlord, or just someone interested in rental housing, here’s what you need to know.What’s the Purpose of AB 2216?

Order something from every bar, order something from every restaurant, make the waitresses work for you, tour the place- the restrooms- the kitchens- the back of the house and walk the entire outside of the building. 

Looking at the homes on the market, prices vary wildly from $~200-$400+/sqft and it doesn't seem to correspond to just the quality of the house.

I live in a property thst looks like a tow house, but it is a condo.

If the bank owns the house it's not in foreclosure anymore.
