@Anthoney Hanks Thanks so much for the warm welcome and sharing the links. Good luck with all your 2020 real estate goals!

@Diana Dorantes Here people use them for in-laws or I've even seen them as Air BNB's. 

WOW That's a great goal to double what you've been doing. I hope to be joining you in multiple unit world soon! Good luck with everything.

@JaronWalling You have a good point, we may just refinish it. Wow congrats on your first flip! please let me know how your process went. 

Hi everyone,

My name is Brittney and I am looking to purchase my first home this coming spring. We are currently renting the home and the owner asked we would be interested in buying. We want to convert the garage to a rentable unit, has anyone successfully done so in California? Since this opportunity arose unexpectedly I am also looking to make extra income so if anyone needs help managing property or being an auction runner I'm your girl! The home we are trying to buy has a pool but I'm not fan of the location of it, has anyone ever change the shape/size of an existing pool? What are your 2020 Real Estate goals?

Best,

Brittney Murray 

Hi All,

Just giving an update, this project has been on hold thanks to the fires we were dealing with and now the floods.

SInce all this has been an issue we are thinking we may sell this land and start again elsewhere. We've had a crazy amount of delays due to zoning, water distro. ect.

Will touch back if we are able to get it all worked out.

Hi Guys,

Sorry I've been gone for so long! @Chris You @Julie McCoy @Stanley J Okazaki

I believe the info can be found at http://www.cleanairactionplan.org also check out the Port of Los Angeles.

They revamped the site so I don't see the article I originally found. But it was my understanding that you much submit a proposal and talk about the Green benefits of the project you are trying to and the specs you need. 

-Locations that are approved are hilly areas (I'm looking in canyon areas and deeper valley spots)

-Soild testing I was quoted  about $3k but can range

-Even the cost of the build ranges depending on how easy it is to get water to your plot of land.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Stay awesome!

@Randy Chapman LA Country was used for a broad description, the specific locations are Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Reseda, Hollywood Hills, or Chattsworth.

Hi Guys,

To answer your questions @Alon L. yes LA does permit container homes, the city actually has a green housing program that will even give you free shipping containers. I will look up the name of it and post when I find what I did with it. We won't however be going that route. 

@Scott Rose You are correct, we are planning on building above. We would prefer a property that we can tear down but we've found properties to be way over priced at this time. We have found a few that were in development but never completed is a better option thus far. 

@Matt K. We will actually be house hacking and eventually move out once we get our next property.

@Randy Chapman Thanks Randy! I appreciate that.

Hi everyone,

My hubby and I are looking to buy land and build a container multi-family home in Los Angeles county next year. Does anyone have any container building companies they recommend? We've been bombarded with  options and they all claim to be the best. Also, does anyone recommend any particular banks for construction perm loans?

Thanks!
