One - there is no guarantee, and I am uncertain why they would go higher from here. #2 - much of LA is subject to strict rent control.

Unfortunately, the late arrival of pics are going to be an issue as folks don’t look at homes they already saw.It may be unusual but I suggest updating the description to state “Updated pics!” 

The strategy is to invest in areas that are cash flowing first, and will likely, though uncertain, appreciate.

If a place is listed for say $450K it would not be unusual for it to sell at $550K (everything is selling for over listing).

Housing prices were going up, and the debt to buy those houses cost almost nothing.Today, housing prices are uncertain at best, and there's plenty of evidence they're falling, and debt is 2x+ what it cost a year ago.

It's not unusual for LTR property management to run about 10% of rents, though I've seen higher and lower numbers and the more properties you put under one company's management the more likely it is you get a better rate.

But the labor costs wont affect the flooring costs which will be static nationally more or less.Also, if its a lower class rental, doesnt seem that unusual.

Because it's not unusual to find a property for $20k that needs $100k and 6 months or more worth of work.
