If they rent, they compulsively worry about "being thrown out on the street."

You can drive into one neighborhood, cross a street, and feel like you crossed a major highway.

It know thatTo me that sounds very strangeI own Two houses on the same street both assessed the same amount.  

I am local and so I simply walked into their office on Hillsborough Street whenever I didn't like something - typically got it resolved.  

Yes, same zip, same signs on the street poles saying "River West", worlds apart.

Hi BiggerPockets, My name is David Krenz, I moved to Los Angeles three years ago from Nashville, TN and worked in the Coldwell Banker Beverly Hills office with numerous multi-million-dollar transactions in the Westside of LA including Beverly Hills, The Bird Streets, West Hollywood.

The drug trade will drive values into the ground.

The appraisal value would be around 650, but the house down the street that is the exact same just sold for 700k!

then use my hard work that finds a property at say 55% of ARV where is the cash investors risk...... then add 70% of the equity at the sale, just not the way I would start a business transaction.I have had about 8 money partners in my time, and get 3 phone calls a week from new ones that spring up on every street corner, they even contact me on BP.  

Walmart right across the street, shops all around.
