Admins @Rene Hosman, is there any way to go back and delete all of the downright dangerous advice he gave to beginners over the years on here so that the forum archives aren't full of BS? 

Do you mind sharing why deals in HSV aren't working for you right now and why you're selling more than buying?

Plus there aren’t many duplex in oc, SD might I’m not sure. 

So, make sure you are always looking to acquire properties, but I wouldn't hold that goal over your head because you might make bad decision to get your number when the deals just aren't there.

@Steve Rozenberg Aren't you a property manager?

It's really great for learning the fundamentals even if you aren't investing out-of-state, and of course extra relevant if you are. 

Another would be refinance and invest in more, but if they aren’t cash flowing now, then then won’t after a refi.You could sell them on seller financing so you continue to get a monthly income for a period of time and spread out your capital gains.

Aren't they required by law to display these items on their vehicles?

Definitely go the legal route here, don't rent out the basement unless you have the OK from the relevant authorities--it's regulated for a reason (fire safety, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.) and your insurance will not have your back if something goes wrong.

In my opinion, if what you want is leads, you aren't going to make the right use out of Pro because you will be trolling for buyers and sellers instead of being an asset to the community and answering questions.If you've been a Pro member for several years and have only made three posts, you haven't been interacting with the community over that timeframe and that is where relationships are built.
