The truth is that from where you are today, investing 'out of state for better deals' concept is totally misguided and scares me!  

I don't care much about the appearance.

I'd also be careful as to what you disclose online as far as your knowledge of the unlicensed work. anyway, good luck with it.

I am attracted to the concept of a hybrid turn-key provider or an operator that would source a wholesale deal, rehab it, and maybe even manage it on my behalf.

I wouldn't care about his legI WOULD care that 60% of the story you told is social guilt he is making you feel.

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.
