Quote from @Pei Wu:

The biggest fear probably lies within the fact that investing is an irreversible process. Once invested, it is nearly impossible to undo. And if you make a miscalculation, the consequence would be more than any starter investor can handle. That is perhaps my biggest fear.


 That’s actually completely the opposite of what investing is. There are millions of ways to leverage and unload a property that has negative cash flow. Even sellers I work with who have to short sale find ways to get out on top.

Definitely agree with other posters 

Contact all owners to see if they would be interested in a sale and payout. 

If you can’t come to agreement, shop the ownership interest amongst the other owners

Key Takeaways: Despite the pandemic and inflation lease volume remains increased and we continually see rents rising. Multifamily Investing is a challenge in Los Angeles but still a great investment

Quote from @Eric Gerakos:

In my not humble opinion, wholesaling for most people is a huge waste of time and energy. Save money, educate yourself and then get into the game.


 A deal worth wholesaling is a deal worth keeping for yourself

Quote from @Ruchit Patel:

If you did put lot of work like you are saying, did that increase the of the house significantly? 

If yes, why not sell, 1031 exchange to save tax in gains, and then buy cash flowy turnkeys or airbnbs in Florida!! 

That's what I do. 


Yes, value was reappraised to 830k from 650k. So the LTV went from 95% to 71%.

Thanks for the advice on 1031!


 Check the appraisal report to make sure that there was nothing missing or no errors on that report

Congrats on discovering this new passion. What I would advise you to do is to save up as much money as you can for your first down payment. Educate yourself on the basics of being a landlord and make sure you ask yourself if it feels right to be in a position where you will be in charge of compliance with laws and building regulations over a long period of time. If you are interested in flipping get very involved in the process of learning about construction and sweat equity.
