I'm needing to redo some foundation work and stucco on a garage conversion ADU in Long Beach.

We're balancing areas that will see some development for appreciation, while also being decent enough to live there now and attract desirable tenants.

There’s definitely a place for both, and I don’t blame anyone for wanting to save a few hundred bucks if all they have is a W-2 with no plans to invest or start a business.But let’s be real—life isn’t that simple.

I want to start investing in assets early in life, and possibly become a landlord in the future. 

She works part time because it's a good balance of her interests, and protection for the family.

These tenants ahve all of the signs of never paying you or paying a little as their balance continues to rise.

Valuing your time and understanding your limits and skills will make a big difference in the equity you build, the quality of the work and your sanity. 

Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.32.8% of the total depreciable basis was classified as 5-year class life.

I would work on credit.

You need those cash reserves as an emergency fund that makes your life better and less stressful.
