Hey David, as long as you flip the property it shouldn't affect your future purchase if for some reason you have to carry a loan on the property then that will affect your DTI which could potentially affect your future purchase.As for flipping, I think you are in a good spot because you and your Dad can do the work yourself, one of the hardest parts of investing in Real Estate is finding quality vendors and contractors.

Once a tenant decides they like your property, it can take a little longer than a traditional rental because Section 8 requires a property inspection to ensure it meets their housing quality standards.

We don't drain after every guest (average stay is 2 nights) but we usually do at least once a week or if it shows any signs of bad quality water.

I know the quality of the home and neighborhood won't be the same in California, but because I'm targeting buy and hold, I just need a property with okay or decent rental yields.

And the quality of their services.. not all closers are created equal

Make sure you know how the quality is of your contractor and how long it's going to take.
