You don’t think about city permits until you need one.  Back in July, a drunk driver crashed into Nuovo Amico Pizza & Pasta, a local business on Newport Blvd run by a single mom. They’ve been forced to shut down for months.  We originally planned our support event for September 23rd, but due to city approval delays, they aren’t ready to open just yet. If you’re a local business owner, you know the struggle.  🗓 NEW EVENT DATE: October 14th at 5:30 PM  Let’s rally for Costa Mesa! Tag a friend below, spread the word, and come out on Oct 14th to spend some money and help get her back on her feet.  Comment below if you can make it! 👇

19,000+ posts helping, guiding, showing people how to get into the appraisal profession and how to source good flips, good holds, how to estimate repair costs, how to find good property managers, how to find good rental markets, how hard work pays off, delayed gratification, etc.....2-5K views and 3 followers. 1 shitpost about doing 23 appraisals a DAY running around houses like a maniac and making a dumb absurd amount of money per year .... 300,000 views and 500+ followers.
I average 10 appraisals per day on slow days. $650 a pop. Each inspection takes only 8 minutes. I work 7 days a week and only eat Chipotle Burritos in my car while driving to the next appointment 20-23 per day when I'm hustling and skipping meals. I make about 2.2M/yr in slow years Not a bad side gig to be honest. With flipping and the rentals it's about $4M/year

“I want to start a business I just don’t have a great idea like you” If you think like this you will fail anyway Tanning salons are not a novel idea

If that same person bought a single-family instead of that 13 units, I think he would’ve made 200k + on each SFR ( he could’ve bought 4 SFR ) instead of losing almost 700k. Sometimes keeping it simple wins.
This is the state of the multifamily market in Southern California. I sold this 13 unit in October of 2019 for $3,375,000 ($259,000/Unit) It just sold for $2,705,000 ($208,000/unit)
