What market are you in? 

Lots of old houses valuing over 500k and up to 1M (local house price in my market is 167k).

It sounds like your current property manager may not be marketing the rental effectively, and the fact that it's listed incorrectly as an apartment instead of a duplex could be turning off potential renters.

Learn your market inside and out—know property values, motivated seller strategies, and how to analyze deals properly.

But I'm starting to wonder if and when some appreciation resumes, and if and when market will dictate rent increases.Appreciate any opinions - thanks

I'm looking for ways to invest in up-and-coming markets in Southern California, such as in San Bernardino County and Riverside County.

I've finally made the decision to get into the market to Build to Rent.

I appreciate the encouragement—I'm excited to learn from and connect with investors in this community.Right now, I’m primarily focused on house hacking in the LA market, but I’m open to exploring out-of-state opportunities later in my career.

If you ever want to chat about the market, deals, or strategies, feel free to reach out.

However, many states now require some version of a license to wholesale, so I'd identify a market first and then dig into their specific wholesaler requirements.
