You have to disclose all of this when you sell, so you will end up paying your plumber or discounting to your buyer.

If your willing to do so, you can live in the casita and then rent out the main home and have your tenant pay the majority/all of the mortgage (depending on what type of deal you find obviously). 

In addition, you would need enough working capital to pay for insurance (which will be going up a LOT in Los Angeles) and to pay for property taxes.Don't buy this unless you have substantial resources and a cash cushion to keep yourself safe.

I had a nice conversation with them and approved their booking for Aug 2025.So, it pays to keep an eye out for a repeat booking that looks fake as they could just not be seeing you responses. 

That is what we thought, but are being told we have to pay SS and medicare on this now even though it is "deferred." 

But the fact remains that you would be paying for 3 loans essentially.  

Please don't believe the hype of these gurus and for the love of god do not pay for their courses.

From what I've seen in this area right now, it seems like you'd have a hard time paying market LTR rents and making a good spread. 

Location and paying attention to Nathan's points above about the immediate area are more important.

If it takes you two months two find a tenant willing to pay $1,700, then you'll still basically break even in the long run - the net to you is the same.
