John A. most have a number of agents that scrub the MLS, then they plug the numbers to look at yield and/or cap rate.

I am a 3rd-year college student seeking to jump right into real estate once I am out of school.

Now more than ever it is important to really understand your numbers and the area you are buying -- that "accidental appreciation" that many of us rode in the last 5-8 years eroded with the higher rates, cost of entry, and renovation costs. 

Unlike an annual rental where the rent is locked in for a year, the prices and amount of vacancies have a high-rate fluctuation.If you do not live in the state than you may not be aware of SB 280.

I want you to tell me where the old lead smelters were, which parts of town are on the uptick and which ones are war zones.I will depend on you to tell me where the best school district borders are and how to tap into all your trusted resources and advisors. 

Do they usually do a monthly flat rate (this would include the winter when its not needed)?

We were exploring taking out a primary mortgage on their home to take out 350k in cash at about a 6% interest rate, and I take out a loan from them at an equal rate or slightly higher (maybe 6.5%).

I'm currently doing 3 month trial leases and if they feel it's a good fit, they can extend to a longer term lease or do a month to month and a higher rate.

I’m happy to use any resource with better rates to finance our properties.

You can get great tenants willing to pay as you have Caltech, JPL, The hospitals, Medical schools, Private High Schools and Elementary schools all within the city!
