Hi @Andrea F.,

Congrats on turning your home into an investment! Tim provided you the answer you're looking for. If you're also looking for estimated markets rents you can use online resources like zillow, and rentometer.com. They are not exact but give you an idea of whats currently on the market as well as a history of rentals.

Hope this helps!

 Hi @Marissa Contreras, the early bird discount ended Monday. There's a IG contest online for two free tickets. Look up @davidgreeneteamsocal

Hope this helps!

Hi @Shounak Rangwala,

Good questions. First, it's important to know that there is always risk in real estate. Due diligence can help mitigate risk, but no one has a crystal ball. If you believe that history repeats itself, you'll see that LA markets have appreciated over time. More specific to neighborhoods you'll want to drive the areas, build a local team, or perhaps look at online data from websites like city-data.com or niche.com or greatschools.org. 

Things you have control over are better to consider. For example, value adds like remodeling are a better way to get a lower priced property, and add value over time.

Hope this helps.

 Hey Zach,

There is a ton of good info here. Like my teammate @Robert Reynolds mentioned, depending on your preapproval type, you'll want to focus on properties you can afford. We have a great lender who can strategize with you, if you haven't found one yet; one that knows VA loans.

In addition, @David Greene is coming to Anaheim in a few weeks to host a real estate meetup. Tickets are going quick but you can find details in the meetup tab on this website or I'm happy to send you the link. 

Hope to see you there and hope this helps!

Hi Anupam,

Insurance agents can be hard to find. If you're still interested let me know and I'll send you someone my clients have used in the past.

 Hi @Sam Shapiro-Kline, welcome to BP! Jonathan makes more than a few great points. From my experience with my clients, there is less hassle finding properties like 2-4 unit properties, then finding a SFR and converting a garage to an ADU. Like Jonathan mentioned the costs can get pretty high, especially if you don't have a trusted contractor. He also mentioned he bought a triplex and converted a garage to an ADU. I recommend getting a clearer picture on how this works for financing. My understanding is that a multi-unit property with an ADU is non-conforming, which means when it comes time to refinance or sell the property, you might run into some issues with appraisal, with current finance regulations. This said, people do it, and if you're holding long term and not planning to take out equity, you may not run into any issues. Hope this helps!
