I'd consider renting for a period of time and identify a particular area you'd like to eventually buy.

Eventually you would exit (sell) and that would have more equity to make a profit after the cash flow losses or the investment generates positive cash flow in year 2,3,4 etc.

This leads to state funded insurance which will be very costly because only those at highest risk will participate in it and if the losses continue, they eventually will need to get the money from someone (rest of people in california?) 

The investment is a little bit more upfront since you'll have to furnish the room and bathroom fully, but you may be able to command a higher rent each month since you're covering all utilities, WIFI, and providing all the furnishings.Either way, renting out the room is a great idea and I'm sure it will be helpful so you can rest a little bit easier while you save to move to Lakeview, eventually :)

I need to source the data myself, run the numbers, check the calculations, eventually build my own custom spreadsheet etc. 

Eventually, after finally admitting he could not obtain a loan, he failed to return my capital, and completely stopped responding just long enough until the banks were unable to reverse any payments.

My goal is to become a successful investor and eventually build wealth through real estate, and I’m hoping to find mentorship and guidance from those who’ve walked this path before me.If anyone has any tips, advice, or would be open to sharing their experiences, I’d love to connect!

Root intrusion is rare with plastic pipe because that means a crack that's going to admit soil as well and eventually bust completely, so if you have roots in PVC you might as well plan to excavate.

Symbolically, fire is eventually an opportunity for re-growth. 

Also, what niche jobs in real estate (Agents, appraisers, house inspectors, lendors, ect.) are going to be replaced eventually?
