Social media, transparency with renters, going the extra mile, offering more than just a home.

Unless you have lived for 2 years in each unit, then you can only claim exemption on half of the gain.

At the end of his talk at an LA REI association meeting, he offered tickets to his $1997 live event at half off. 

If you're already in the accredited investor club, well, then I'd say it might be time to consider moving away from those individual rentals and leaning more into syndications and private placements.Anyway, if your net worth is north of half a mil, or even a million, then you might want to hop on the LP train sooner rather than later.

We’re also thinking about a STR somewhere.We were able to start here in CA by purchasing a duplex where we live in one half and are now adding onto the property.

(It was 1 miles away from where, I consider as bad area).

I ended up offering on another 4 bdr turn-key property, and to your point, it was a feeding frenzy. 18 offers in 24 hours, with nearly half of them going $100K over ask.

We added value by re-doing the whole house, installed vinyl floorings, rebuilt 2 and a half bathrooms, re-painted the whole house, replaced all the hardware in the house, installed new lighting, ceiling fans, re-painted the kitchen, and completely remodeled the upstairs.

But if this happens a half dozen times what happens?  

Additionally, I’ve secured seller financing for half of the purchase price, but I’ve been told this could complicate things further since banks typically prefer being in the first lien position.
