Bandit Signs Using URL, Privacy and Code Enforcement
17 November 2015 | 0 replies
So I would like to accomplish the following:1) URL on signs that are easy to remember and changeable redirects, similar to google voice numbers2) Different short URLs (bitly or other url short names on each sign) for tracking purposes3) Low cost squeeze page with contact fill out form, testimonials and information4) Privacy on the website ownership, etc. 5) To make new leads feel comfortable and still build trust but protect myself for the long run using bandit campaigns.I am considering making multiple cheaper one page sites, that produce similar results and rotate them through if I feel the heat is turning up by code enforcement in a particular city.

Will tenants pay more rent for lower utilities?

Hi everyone,We are renovating a duplex, and so far we have gone with heat pumps and natural gas furnaces, so heating and cooling should be lower priced than usual.However, I have to decide on water heaters, and I can do a regular electric model which could cost them $400+ a year to run, or I could do a heat pump water heater, which would only cost $100-200 per year to run.

Should I Accept the Counter Offer for a SFH in SoCal?
23 November 2015 | 25 replies
I'm a new investor and would love to hear your opinion on my 1st rental property purchase attempt in Southern California.The good:1. 4/2/2 1600 sf SFH with big yard;2. flipped house so everything is new;3. comps with smaller square footage or not so good condition are all over $100k (ARV is around $120k-130k), and seller countered for $75k;4. it can rent for $1000/month;5. it's a relatively safe and quiet area.The bad: 1. vacancy rate is like 20%-30% in average for that area because it's rural and has lots of rental properties;2. roof is in very bad shape and will need to be replaced in a year or 2, which will cost about $5000-$8000;3. no dishwasher, will cost about $1000-$1500 to alter kitchen cabinets and add dishwasher;4. only has vinyl siding, not a good choice for high heat area and will stretch and sag, cost $5000+ to replace with stucco;5. no separate garage door connecting main house, will cost about $1000 to add it;6. house is about 2.5 hours away from where I live;7. almost no appreciation.Expenses: property tax: $1541insurance: $570property management: 10%maintenance: 5%tenant replacement: one month rentI understand how hard it is to find cash flow properties in SoCal, so I'm struggling on whether to proceed with this deal even though cash flow is only about $100/month, not to mention cash on cash ROI is less than 5% considering all the capital expenses in the near future.I welcome any input.
