I know they can be very inaccurate but after a closer examination of the specific neighborhood, comps nearby, and the updates we’ve done including increasing square footage, we are confident it will appraise much higher. $225,000 may possibly be optimistic but the comps don’t lie.We fond the renters who have been qualified through a friend.

Ask people to meet for coffee and start picking their brains. 

If you are nearby contact me so we can talk Real Estate! 

@Joshua Gutierrez congrats on the great life you've had so far, I'm semi new to investing and I'm also in CA, if you want to connect to grab a coffee and talk about investing let me know, I'm young but full of ideas and knowledge 

We want to increase the rent about $150 because they were paying less than the nearby average. 

Would you be able to recommend a RE agent  familiar with the Medical Center and nearby areas? 

Depending on location limited parking might not be that big of a negative if it is in a walkability urban core type area or small city town where everyone walks around to businesses.If it's a destination type spot in a strong suburban but with lot's of greenspace and no nearby cross anchor areas for overflow parking then having a bad design for parking can be a big negative.

Haha that was only 1 cup of coffee in, I should be good now.

Also, I'm not sure where you're learning "apps are bad" or maybe I misunderstood but there is nothing wrong with utilizing Zillow or Trulia or what have you to get a general idea of sales, valuation estimates, schools (can be inaccurate but good starting point), neighborhood (nearby coffee shops, freeways etc.), square footage and number of BR/Bath, year built, sale price history, and photos!

I have also not done any research on the renters market out here yet (would also love to hear your two cents on this).so If anyone would like to meet up for coffee or just message back and forth here on the board or text let me know.
