I found your post while looking for my own info about doing a potential rezone that would allow for future development in Denver.

As someone based in San Diego, I’ve also noticed that investors eyeing California real estate tend to focus on potential future development or expansion (especially if you have the patience to navigate local regs).

Once that reserve fund is established, move all future cash flow to an investment account.

Decatur: +1.2%)- Last 5 years: 77.0% (Annualized difference: +2.8%)- Last 10 years: 88.4% (Annualized difference: +1.3%)So the housing stock in Huntsville appreciates slightly faster, but I’d say the data shows that Decatur can work for both cash flow and appreciation-oriented investors.

CA acts in a neglectful arrogant manner, assume historical greatness will automatically deliver future greatness.

Good luck in the future!

It just feels like I’ve been making a lot of short term sacrifices for long term gains and I have to be really diligent with money management. or I could also just try to borrow money for the renovation, and pay off the line of credit over time, but I feel like that really would limit me and if the stock market(my collateral) went down I could also see some trouble. 

This can help you gain experience and start to network and develop a team of people who can help you invest in future deals.  

Schools are solid, demand is high, and I think that you'll see an increase in housing prices in the future.

Walking score of 95.Pre COVID rental numbers:Monthly gross rent $15,250Cap rate 7.1%Future rental numbers:Estimated Monthly gross rent after current tenants move out $13,950Cap rate 6.5%Because monthly rent looks to be about 20-30% more if you rent by the month, I am considering renting out my duplex for monthly rentals on Airbnb/other sites and potentially for travel nurses (ideal because several hospitals are walking distance to my house).
