We get all that so please keep it short & sweet...just want the facts.

What offer price would make this a sweet deal for you?

Regarding types of properties - personally, I'd try to go for slightly more expensive quads or duplexes, basically look for the highest "sweet spot" of income/price I am comfortable with.

We would often walk over and wine taste he was eclectic to say the least I always got the last resi of the day ( no open tasting needed resi's) then he would open up the bottles and talk about his days on the beach in Hawaii etc etc.

@Kristin Horowitz ,Just remember you're signing to owner-occupy the property if you use the sweet 3.5% down financing.

I think the sweet spot in any market is good "C" class neighborhoods with working class tenants.

He advertised that he would do the leg work to find a sweet deal and his target area is in the area I  currently invest in.

I like flix & fix even though I know there are a lot naughty stuff and a lot unexpecations, still I like to turn a less beautiful looking house into a place called sweet home to buyers and in the meanwhile I accumulate money for bigger project.

@Parker Cox - although the link below is short and sweet, it provides a great summary of rental info across San Diego county for mid-year 2015.

I was planning on keeping it short and sweet simply asking if they were interested in selling.
