Finding an Investor Friendly Contractor In LA is Impossible?
Hi Guys
After 7 years of doing Airbnb; here is my next move.
HOUSE HACK
Get a rehab loan (Fannie Mae Homestyle at 20% down) to buy, rehab, and live in a beautiful SFH pool home in LA County. Preferably Woodland Hills or Calabassas area as you get higher square footage for your money.
Convert detached garage or build/prefab 1200 SQFT 3bed/2bath ADU & convert part of downstairs of main house into approx 500 sqft JADU.
Make cosmetic upgrades to main house. There should be a separate entrance for all 3 structures. Everyone shares pool/spa and outdoor area. Total of at least 6 parking spots on property or street.
Increase property value by at least 20% of purchase price + rehab.
I will live in the main house and rent our the two ADU's. When I move out, the entire house (all 3 units) must cash flow as traditional rentals.
Now, I would LOVE to have serious conversations with investor friendly contractors in the area that could give estimates on rehabs, garage conversions, ADU additions, and so forth. Where are they?
Am I on the right track here?
Your friend,
Dave
