How Mira Vista actually prices

Built-out areas like this tend to have the more workable rent to price ratios, which is why investor activity concentrates in them.

Buyers looking here almost always look at Antioch, Oakley and Pittsburg as well. Mira Vista gets weighed against other established Antioch pockets rather than the city at large.

What matters when you are buying an investment property

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.

This is one of the more predictable parts of Antioch, which is worth something in a city that changes block to block.

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.

What do investors miss when calculating returns?
