Darn. What did I miss ?

I come back from lunch and the Skippers ship has been torpedoed ?

Just tragic.

Thanks Robert. Can you confirm the rents on 1722 Mitchell, units #34 ($1,400) and #35 ($1,550)?

I concede the $1,500 is rare (for the slums as you put it) and the $1,400 is even a tad high. However, considering these units do not cost $150,000 the point is moot.

Unit #34 - S566608 - Listed at $1600 and leased for $1400 5/6/2009.

Unit #35 - S566613 - Listed at $1550 and lease for $1550 on 5/1/2009.

A good estimate on monthly rent appears to be about 10% of the purchase price.

That's probably a good investment then, assuming you mean 1% instead of 10% (that is, $1,500 for a place purchased for $150,000), for a GRM of 100.

I mentioned in the other thread that those were the exact numbers of my own house in Riverside (that is, I paid $150k and believe I could get $1,500 monthly if I rented it out instead of living in it).

Edit: Forgot about HOA fees for the Tustin condos, which could make such a place go from a good investment to a bad one, depending on the amount. Obviously my older house has none.
