Recently sold properties on the LA assessor's parcel map seem to indicate pricing for similar parcels sold at around $80k but this was in 2015-2016.

I use PR every day, there is some indicators but using property radar correctly in my view means just getting you started in the right direction.  

On the back of the check they just indicate "For Deposit Only XXXXXXX". 

We got a HELOC from a credit union, with a great rate and minimal fees to close.Or, call your local small community bank, not the big impersonal banks. 

Recent inspection provided by seller indicates minor issues with plumbing and makes note of older electric.

This one needs minimal updates (paint, refinish existing hardwood floors, update kitchen cabinets (small kitchen, which is customary to area)).

My concern was to try to avoid dropping my credit score substantially but you were both able to reassure me that the damage, if any, would be minimal and quite worth it.Many Thanks!

in a 10 CAP area it may have cost you 75k to get that 10k NOI where in the 5 CAP area it may have cost you 150k to get that 10k NOI because of the difference in material you may need to use because that indicates a more desirable higher income purchaser. to say that all out of state investing is not worth it is not true, everyone needs to run the numbers to make sure they can make money, no matter where they invest.

I'd help them present it as a potential income stream for the hotel with minimal impact on the hotel's operations.

So now you put in a minimal down payment of say 5 or 10% of the whole deal and your reward comes on delivery of results.
