I'm a pretty handy guy but this would be outside of my realm, but my experience helps me understand how much this type of improvement should cost.Improvements: remodel kitchen and bathroom, paint interior, fix exterior scafolding.How should I go about finding a contractor?

That experience made me realize I want to dive deeper into this space.Right now, I’m in the research phase—figuring out locations, property types, and strategies while working on funding and budgeting.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

What type of property do you plan to purchase(Single, multi, commercial, etc) and where do you plan to buy it?

I’m a New York City native, but purchasing any type of real estate in this area is not realistic for me. 

I would absolutely use an attorney to facilitate this type of transaction.

With people continually migrating from CA, more jobs moving here (Tesla Semitruck factory being built as I type this), I don't know how this gets solved. 

So depending on what your investment goals are and what type of properties (Class A through C/D) and where in the city you want to buy, that can directly impact the level of stability one can find within the market here.
