Analytical skills and research skills aid greatly in determining costs, value add opportunities, negotiation points. 

Condition: One tenant doesn't want to leave, have to bribe them to leave perhaps with some cash-of-keys- In San Pablo, a listing of 250k with comps of 500k.Situation: Sewer issue, only cost 20k but the city is asking the new owner has to repair everything with all permit.- South Hayward: 600k "duplex"- This year I got a comps of 1.3mil "mansion" 1920k for 800k.

(which I like) so I would like someone with local experience rather than be the farthest flung property for a city-focused PM (if they'd even do it) and potentially become neglected or incur higher costs because of distance and/or unfamiliarity.A little help?

If it costs $25,000 for the program, how long will it take to return that vs learning as you go?

They agreed to disagree, and the other fellow was doing a variety of things Bill refused to do, which cost people a lot more money.

From my perspective, the new builds are so competitive with both the prices, closing cost assistance and rate buy-downs that they are a clear choice for anyone looking at turnkey options. 

  - 2 of 5 year rule on owner occupied allows gains (to a limit) being exempt from gains tax- accelerated depreciation (cost segregation) can further allow writing off the depreciation- this to me is the most crazy of all, at death property value is rebaseline with all gains being forgiven to the heirs.  

If you build a 200 unit location of 10/15/20 drive up access it will be worth $1mm day one above your cost.  

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620, many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.
