looking the condo price in the city dropped a lot in the past 3-4 years, specially after covid. 

I will say it will be hard in North OC to find something unless the downpayment is higher but depending on how far you want to go you can look at places in Corona, Norco, Murrieta, etc and the price points drop by $300,000+ dollars.

Hey Paul, if you are still in need of a Licensed NC General Contractor, feel free to drop me a message.

I dropped a huge inspection report on them, made them rethink relisting.

Purchase property at today's current rates and relatively lower property prices then Refinance when rates drop. or 2.

I don't have a problem with that because it was similar to a furnace, set the temperature. 

This is a single family home and was originally a primary residence before turning it into an long-term rental.Some strategies I'm considering to grow my portfolio are using a HELOC/1039 tax exchange to purchase a second investment property/multi-family property or refinancing my current investment property into a conventional loan to utilize another FHA loan for a primary residence (with the idea of eventually turning that into another long-term rental).I currently have a 7% interest rate, and am considering refinancing in the coming months if/when the rates drop.

Every few days to a week a neighbor cleans up the alley in the back of their property and at the curbside in the front of their property because she simply can't stand the sight of the trash they seem to purposely drop.  

Our state guidelines say we must maintain a temperature of 65 degrees.

I have a storage room that is old and worn (leaks rain and has a smell of rat droppings) that I have a plan to tear down and rebuild in the near future.
