I think we are kind of saying the same thing which is that there is a huge variance in values under the umbrella of those city titles and that you should be careful which comps your using when approaching a flip opportunity in that area.As Trevor stated, the subject property is North of the Freeway... and therefore probably should stick to the reseda comparables to not get an unrealistic ARV...Now off to get that SFV 818 forehead tattoo so I can reclaim my valley boy status 

Hi Yonah,Many accredited investors FIRST understand take a bunch of single family houses and put them into one building and you have large multifamily.It's a concept they can understand and feel comfortable with right out of the gate.

This will be my first investment property, so I want to be especially careful.

A tenant is required to pay on time and take good care of your property.

You should have a title search done to confirm they are 100% owner with no liens that you are unaware and willing to take care of.

At the end of the day, their rent helps me take care of my family.

@Ian Walsh @Jessica Brown Careful with marketing any deals unless you own them.

Careful on internet advice MINE INCLUDED... we are all just people..

@Paul Caputo , The commercial firms don't care about your financial skills.

@Jay Hinrichs, okay you wouldn't care, that's great.
