I'm not too sure yet, but I am excited and looking forward to chat with you all about these ideas.

Exploring cities outside of California for real estate investment can be a smart move, especially if you're looking for markets with strong growth potential, reasonable property prices, and good rental yields.

The pricing is usually WSJ + 1 point adjustable with a floor. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

When I ran numbers a few years ago for a higher end condo vs newer, but starter home, the purchase price for the house was a bit more ($40K), but I could rent the house for more and payments were similar once I added in the condo fees...I went with the house.

Hi Aqsa, What location and price points are you targeting for these properties? 

Purchase price: $127,250 Cash invested: $110,000 Sale price: $390,000 This was a fantastic flip opportunity my investor picked up in the coveted neighborhood of Mt.

Before moving forward, I'm seeking advice on the best next steps.Contractor Estimates: Should I get a contractor to inspect the property and provide an estimate for the repairs?

Purchase price: $18,000 Cash invested: $245,000 Sale price: $335,000 New Consruction spec home built with the help of a hard money loan from Upright (Fund that Flip at the time). 1420 sqft, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on 1.8 acres.

Also have known other landlords personally, and heard of many others, that  took more than a year to get out a tenant/squatter.so this could be an opportunity, if the price is right, to pick up a good property for future use.
