The amounts will vary greatly depending on age, location and class of tenant.

Distressed sales are even better if you can get access to a wholesaler that picks up high-end homes.

The prices, while not easy pickings, are much better than Denver, and I think there's still room for some good appreciation.

Hi everyone, my name is Clifford Adikuono :) I'm a brand new real estate investor who plans to buy and hold single-family homes and small multifamily properties for the middle-class in Southern California. 

I also just graduated from Pitt in April 2017 with a bachelors in chemical engineering... sounds like we were in the same graduating class, small world and H2P!

Really, anyone that is willing to let me pick their brain a little bit and come see their projects in person.

Do you have any tips or resources on how to evaluate a neighborhood to determine the neighborhood class?

I've found that, once a property hits any list, it's already picked over and there's competition because others also have the list.The best wholesale deals are properties you can buy very cheap in order to resell low enough that an investor can buy it from you and still make their own profit.

So here’s what I think you should to: pick two actual cities and optimize around “want”.

I'm sure the owners of Seamus, Felix's, Heavy Riff, and the like won't be complaining about 100 upper-middle class customers plopping down across the street.
