Starting a new STR company sounds great, but at a time when the existing ones are struggling to attract customers, seems impractical.

The property is 20 minutes SE of DTLA and can honestly say you're less than 30 min to major attractions (beach, Disneyland, Rams stadium, 3 Cal States).

Refinancing when the rates are low is always attractive, but you are the only one who can determine if it's where you want to go.

Anything additional (i.e. laundry, dishwasher, high-end finishes) will give your apartment more appeal and likely attract more buyers but it may not necessarily translate to a higher purchase/appraised value.Hopefully this helped.Best of luck to you moving forward!

Whatever you want to do, be sure to build a team of professionals who will support your activities....title companies, lenders, inspectors, contractors, photographers, etc.I can currently provide an insane amount of complimentary, world-class training from top producers around the country through at least the end of May through my brokerage. 

I think the shutdowns will need to go on for a few more months before they put a real dent in prices, and most restaurants/attractions in all of my markets are set to open as early as next week, and in the coming weeks.I have had a few clients come to me to panic sell, but we aren't at a point yet where sellers are willing to accept panic sale prices.

Does it really make a difference when attracting tenants?

It is both visually attractive as well as clean and safe.

They are not producing fuel.There were 3 major projects that the refinery was going to do after the maintenance project. 

I feel guilty when I stop working on the projects because I feel the days keep passing and my property is not producing.
