One unvetted thought I’ve had for when I go live is to give VRBO a 1-2 week head start on our listing.

The lot works and ok with living in one unit, just trying to find people that have executed them in Los Angeles City.

I currently live in the Bay Area, but I’ve decided to start investing in the Jackson County/MO area.

Quote from @Jemini Leckie: Hello,I live in a mountain west state, not California.

Considering that, you are likely going to see appreciation year over year, which essentially will be additional equity you'd capture just by simply living in the home. 

If San Diego wasn’t in CA that’s where I’d live.

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried ti take over reverser mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.

As a CPA who lives and breathes real estate taxation, I've noticed something interesting that I want to share with the BiggerPockets community.

I have about $80k in a HELOC on my current home where I live.

I invest in about a 50 mile radius from where I live.
