As supply dwindles, we have seen the pressure felt by investors to ramp up and hunt for the elusive value-add opportunities in this marketplace. Many profit hunters actively seek properties with upside in rent, accessory dwelling unit (ADU) potential and inadequacies as part of the existing management. A recent example is a 12-unit, single-story Garden Grove asset on a large parcel of land that was purchased below replacement cost.
