Point of saying all of that is there is plenty of upside in Oceanside and some good bang for your buck- with a lot of quality neighborhoods.

Some SEO consultants can help with this in one stop shopping but then you have to ask yourself how much control do you want on the quality of content on YOUR website

I think those rents are pretty darn close for the area and quality of unit (judging from listing pics).

I added my experience to show how easy it is to make a mistake, even when you want to deliver quality.

Is he that bad at screening tenants or is this house a magnet for bad apples and what will it cost to improve enough to attract quality people?  

“It’s a lower cost of living, high quality of life and a great tech ecosystem there.”So, should you rather invest in a unique market that attracts a single type of resident from a single industry who is quick to leave the area?

That said, I would definitely ask the realtor "what sells" in the neighborhood when it comes to things like fixture finishes, carpet color, quality, etc.

Mold sampling (the testing of the specific areas you see mold growth is usually for the toxic molds -- problematic ones) is a type of testing that's different than the general "air-quality" tests. 

go to your reia  meetings and do heavy networking..not to be a Debbie downer but wholesaling is VERY tough and especially in hot =markets like phxit would be easier in Indy, and in Dallas its a contact sport... not sure you came to greener pastures.. or brown desert as it were.you will find wholesalers at the reia's though no doubt.

Once a broker is doing larger size deals it makes no sense to work on smaller deals for less money when even the same or more time is required due to the quality of the property being less and the buyer tends to be more marginal as they are going after small balance mom and pop commercial.
