Our best use for the property would be to build a couple of large estate home (8k sq' and up) and form a private estate, but, being that we are in the County with no existing zoning requirements, we could also build what we want and potentially turn it into an income generating property.

In one deal referenced the poster highlights a major potential conflict of interest as Capella supposedly used an appraisal generated by the borrowers without disclosing this to investors, who later invested $3.9M to finish a luxury home Capella claimed was 80% complete.

Owner-occupying a small multi-family property is a smart move—you're reducing your own housing costs while building equity and generating rental income.

Say your monthly income requirement is $5,000/Mo, and each property generates $300/Mo.

Clean title no ejido. 

When I look for my next property, I work on cleaning up credit, so my scores are as good as I can get them.  

I don't know of an inspector but I do have a great electrician, handyman and clean-out crew if any of those would be helpful! 

Attention to detail is a big one for me, make sure when they wrap up jobs they do the right work and finish the job clean without having a ton of stuff missing 

I’m living in Bay Area where finding deals that generate cashflow is impossible.

This generates wealth FASTER.
