Quote from @Saika Maeda: Hi all, I’m almost in escrow with this single family home in LA with an un-permitted large ADU with a Certificate of occupancy. 

I also recommend starting small with a duplex or single-family home to learn the ropes before scaling up

(I just went through probate when my mom passed and it sucks and would like to prevent my successors from having to deal with the same if possible).Bonus question, one of my properties is still under mortgage, he mentioned something about transferring it to an LLC can trigger a due-on-sale clause but not when transferred to a Trust.

     * House is a 2699 sq/ft Single Family Residence| 3 beds, 3 bathroom | Built in 1956 | NO HOA     * There is a chance I could pay only interests so I can start saving some cash for the incoming maintenance and annual payment equivalent to the 12 monthly payments (~$5,029.77 per year during the balloon period)The advantages I can identify in this deal for me are:* Lower interest compared with traditional loans* Lower down payment compared with the ones compared for traditional loans* House is technically ready to be rented (waiting for the inspection) * Forecast - 3 yr growth (appreciation) is expected to be 8.1 % (Bigger Pockets)The disadvantages I can identify: * I am still vulnerable to foreclosure if sellers don't make mortgage payments to the bank.* Refinancing issues at the end of the Balloon Payment?

Keep an eye on the STR regulations, and as you progress, consider diversifying your portfolio with other asset classes like commercial or single-family rentals for added stability.

Take for example, while representing buyers in single family transactions, during the negotiation, I ALWAYS ask the sellers to credit the buyer(s) up to 3% of the asking price toward the buyers costs.
