It's also not a great house with great location from an unmotivated owner.

Every location is different.

@Arshiya Taami  Every SoCal municipality will have different levels of permits, so it’s impossible to know what you need without your scope of work and project legal location.

That was completed mid- 2022 and is now consistently rented out to traveling nurses at the 200 acre Med center located 1 block away.

Assuming the sewer is located at the street, I guess the house is about 50 feet from that.I’m not sure what you mean by topographic level.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't invest the time to ACTUALLY understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

- if you had to pick one location/state - what would that be?

I’m not sure where you’re located, I couldn’t tell.

This is what happens when people learn from Scott Carson nowadays.In the USA when we sell assets, typically real properties or the notes secured by real properties, we reach an agreement for sale BEFORE the buyer has completed a thorough due diligence.

I've been considering Temecula for house hacking, the location is convenient I just haven't done any research into multifamily or the market for renting a room in a single family.
