They live in a semi HCOL area called Torrance (house is in a good zip code 90503).

I was able to get a private loan which I used to purchase the house then I used my own money to rehab the house.

Would like confirmation on that though.For Solara, there seems to be no restrictions but a lot of houses for sale. 

As a community I think we should focus on helping people who have had their housing situation negatively impacted recover as quickly as possible.

Theming can be $5-10,000 per bedroom (includes whole house decor, so a 5 bedroom could be $50,000 for the entire home furniture) depending on your imagination and quality.

We had to bring the 1925 house to 2023 code which involved un-installing 26 windows that were already nicely installed (in appearance) in the house, reframing them to 2023 standards (at the time) which also involved strapping the bottom of the wood framing with metal straps (mind you this all after we had already completed the inside renovation).

Then you own the LLC and can transfer the property into it.If you transfer the property into that LLC the way it is then technically you just gave your friend ownership of the house proportional to his ownership of the LLC.I'm not an attorney, so take that with a grain of salt.

I actually purchased a SF house with a two story detached garage in a nice area of brockton.

Are you looking for a primary property for yourself and house hack?
