I prefer to use agents that also invest in real estate so they have more of a personal understanding of what I aim to accomplish, as they are also doing that themselves. This has helped with communication of desired outcome for all parties involved.  

What type of funding are you looking for AKA what market?

 Pace answers this exact question (no credit! no money down!) with an example in his podcast on Real Estate Rookie (a BP podcast as well). Very informative! It's recent.

@Luka Milicevic Do you have a PM recommendation for Columbia?

I am closing on a property in Columbia. Mind sharing here or in a DM which ones you weren't impressed with? Duck Realty was just suggested and I am looking to interview more this week. Thanks! 

1. Meal prep at home for the week. In the time it takes to drive/ walk to restaurants multiple times a day, you can grocery shop and meal prep for a fraction of the cost of eating out. It is healthier, too. 

2. Run errands in a loop or schedule them on the way home from work. With gas even more expensive than a pound of beef, this helps cut down on both gas, time used, and wear and tear on your vehicle. It adds up over time, especially if you live on the coasts.
 

Seal Beach is not in a gentrifying stage. Homes are much smaller than HB. Oceanside would be a great bet. Gentrification has already begun there.

Hey, Ryan! This is cool! Good for you!! 

I don't have all the steps memorized but I've heard from seasoned investors that you can 1031 your primary residence after going through some hoops to not make it your primary residence... ie: move out and rent it out. It takes a bit of time but might end up being the best of both worlds (save money and make money).

I'm in Southern California and we keep waiting for the "bubble" to lose someair, and yet the prices keep climbing steadily and intensely.  

Hi Kara! I like the idea of marketing/ renting the property at +$80 with the phrase "trash and access to community amenities included." Only thing I can think of as a problem, though, is if the tenant has to pay an additional fee per fob card to enter each area (beginning to be more common to charge for HOA maintenance fee and fob card fee). Then, you'd have to change the marketing phrasing. ;)

This is fantastic. Nuggets of wisdom all over this post!! So happy for you and for your family!
