This led me down a weird series of events as I didn't know exactly when I wanted to do, and although I made numerous mistakes with ventures that I am no longer pursuing, I learned a lot. 

Anyways, again, good luck and whatever your strategy.... keep it SIMPLE... don't OVERTHINK... and try to think out of the box (AirBnB, short term professional tenants, business credit cards (AMEX and CHASE ONLY)) ... in short a lot of options exist and numerous ways to make money without getting too crazy. 

Time, directed in the most honest and rewarding way, is more important than money.

Its a bigger risk but the reward has been worth it so far!

So if you're in your 20s, put that off for a while and keep working, maybe reward yourself with a nicer RV. 

Check out numerous operators and you will have your answers. 

I have posted a few properties and have received numerous leads.

For these, we are willing to try to push rents more early on with the risk of longer turnovers, with the reward of increased NOI and property value as a result of the higher gross income once the property is stabilized and ready for the refinance.

If you go this route I recommend you google "introductory HELOC Los Angeles" and there will be numerous banks and credit unions that will have an introductory offer of 2.99 or 3.99%.My recommendation is to reach out to a mortgage lender both here in Southern California and out of state (depending on where you want to invest) and determine how much you'll qualify for based on your current numbers.While it will be a process to get everything figured out the key is to take action. 

It's very rewarding to be part of a special event in peoples lives.
