Quote from @Terrance Hill: Hi Erik,Great question!

Quote from @Terrance Hill: Ken, thanks for laying this out so clearly.

It really boils down to the deal itself and the specific neighborhood.California school system is somewhere around 30th in the nation, school quality is related to tax revenue, obviously more affluent areas have better schools.Most areas have some level of fire risk, the Oakland hills have burned, loma prieta burned, pick an area and it probably burned.

@Terrance Hill Thanks for the welcome!

Hey BP Community,
I’m William Thompson, a CPA and Tax Strategist working with real estate investors across the U.S. Over the years, I’ve noticed that one thing quietly eats away at returns for both new and seasoned i...

In DC, that means not only watching sales prices and rental comps, but also understanding zoning, tenant laws, and the different sub-markets (what works in Petworth may look very different from Brookland or Capitol Hill).

Look for something with a lot of hills, trees, valleys or ditches.  

Quote from @Terrance Hill: Great breakdown, Keith — this is exactly the kind of detail new investors need to hear.
