My name is Adam King, and I am an avid real estate investor and life long San Diegan!

It's easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis - the key is creating a strategy that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.Then, you can start defining what an ideal investment property looks like in terms of returns and property types, allowing you to evaluate opportunities that fit.Good luck!

Long-winded post, but I hope that this helps others.  

Then there’s city regulations—some places heavily restrict short-term rentals, so you’ve got to check the rules.If you find the right spot and automate stuff (guest communication, cleaning, etc.), it can be profitable.

Looking for guidance on the best way to proceed going forward in terms of asset protection and how to structure all of this real estate… 

The last point that I would make is you need to get into 3-4 pillars of the business that you will have for the long haul of real estate.

Or. if you can’t wait that long. 

It's also rare you buy these properties with 20-25% and have NOTHING you need to address almost immediately in terms of repairs or capex. 

Cash-Out Refinance – Refinancing one of your properties to pull out $30,000 in cash can be an option, though it may extend your loan term or increase your interest rate. 3.

My recommendation is before chasing all these real estate deals is to go earn and save some money so when a good deal comes a long you can take action and move on it.
