So do you think its a better idea to target a slow neighborhood and get 65 of market value or go after a hot neighborhood and get 80-85 of market value.

In my market -- Los Angeles -- zip codes, in of themselves, are a good start. However, going block by block is where things get interesting. The zip codes are so spread out here -- L.A. is close to 400 square miles -- that on one block you're leaving your front door unlocked while five blocks over you're being jacked for Junior's diaper money.To summarize you, nothing beats getting out and beating the bushes.

Truer words have never been spoken. In my market — Los Angeles — zip codes, in of themselves, are a good start. However, going block by block is where things get interesting. The zip codes are so spread out here — L.A. is close to 400 square miles — that on one block you’re leaving your front door unlocked while five blocks over you’re being jacked for Junior’s diaper money.

To summarize you, nothing beats getting out and beating the bushes. You just might find a great deal.

Kudos for a wonderful article.

Anthony

Take care,
