I don't know, but I've read half of your gross income will probably go into your expenses.

At the end of his talk at an LA REI association meeting, he offered tickets to his $1997 live event at half off. 

We’re also thinking about a STR somewhere.We were able to start here in CA by purchasing a duplex where we live in one half and are now adding onto the property.

We added value by re-doing the whole house, installed vinyl floorings, rebuilt 2 and a half bathrooms, re-painted the whole house, replaced all the hardware in the house, installed new lighting, ceiling fans, re-painted the kitchen, and completely remodeled the upstairs.

I ended up offering on another 4 bdr turn-key property, and to your point, it was a feeding frenzy. 18 offers in 24 hours, with nearly half of them going $100K over ask.

Typically, the easiest way to verify this is to request additional documentation.

Additionally, I’ve secured seller financing for half of the purchase price, but I’ve been told this could complicate things further since banks typically prefer being in the first lien position.
