I havent tried looking elsewhere for my needs, but two things that I've noticed about the Sacramento market is that we are seeing a lot of Bay Area transplants trying to get away from the high cost of housing, and Sacramento's housing market seems to be going up exponentially, so it seems lik e a great long term buy-and-hold situation, based on location and market values of homes and rents.

If you have a short term rental, you need at least one tax return reflecting the income on schedule E for at least some portion of the previous year. 

e - Roof   f - Siding/brick   g - Foundation (this one can and will be the killer)   h - Windows and doors   I - Finish door/window hardware...inside and out   j - Exterior water drainage (there was none back then) and any damage done already (see "g" above)You said you estimating $3000 for rehab now. 

Also, as you continue to learn more, you'll increase the formulas you use and the weight you place behind each one.

Because I love dogs I did allow a dog, but I did enforce a breed and weight restriction. 

You cannot bank on appreciation, you may be able to afford it today, it things went south and you couldn't, it would be better if the property can pull its own weight through the tough times. 

The score is weighted such that the more-correlated metrics (#1 and #2 on the list) contribute more points than the less-correlated metrics (#3 and #4).

The app developers should STR for a bit (to include Schedule E and C with accountant) to really understand the customer (me)).

I've gotten an estimate of $115/month for the common G&E, so that plus water will be much higher.

From tax perfective, you will have to claim all the rental income and expense in your personal return under schedule E ( with or without you single member LLC).
