What matters when you are buying an investment property
The rent estimate on a listing portal is a model, and the model has never seen the unit. It does not know about parking, or the neighboring building, or what comparable units in that specific pocket actually leased for last quarter.
The number that matters is what it costs to hold. California property taxes reset on sale, which surprises out of state buyers more than anything else on the list. Then insurance, which has moved a great deal. Then vacancy and maintenance.
The mistake to avoid in Deer Ridge
The one we see most often here is listing photography that flattens the view, which is the one thing buyers are paying extra for.
A deal that pencils on rent minus mortgage is not a deal, it is an incomplete spreadsheet. If the numbers do not work we will say so, because unlike a primary residence there is no emotional consolation prize.
