@Austin Bright Over the past three years, I’ve been using most of the major off-market techniques.Of all the methods, texting has been a double-edged sword.

I have three investment properties that are occupied by tenants.

It depends on your financial strength, the quality of the property, how many properties you own, etc.I like to start with one significant expense and three months of vacancy.

Three questions: 1) do California Realtors have a seller financing addendum that they can use? 

.• Have no more than three bedrooms at the property, which would include the homeowner’s bedroom.• Be located at least 660 feet from any other short-term residential rental, as well as 2,500 feet from a resort hotel.• Be in a zoning area that allows short-term residential rentals.• Have written permission from your Homeowners Association (HOA), if applicable.

Noone here can give you any legitimate response without knowing the answers to those three questions.If you paid 1.6 million and put down 25% and now owe 1.2 million and the duplex will be worth 2 million dollars when its complete, then you can easily get a hard money lender to lend you on the property.
