But I really see this as just business-  I want the best market I can get into. 

I'm not sure if we can do business together, but we could certainly chat and see.

One thing to consider is that in terms of wealth building and Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant, owing a rental and doing work yourself is putting you in the self-employed quadrant, not Business Owner or Investor.I think there are a lot of factors stacked against California for long term rentals, and I think you know it too! 

To support my seller and seize a valuable opportunity, my business partner and I decided to purchase the property ourselves.

- The market is in a little bit of a lull right now (buyers market), its a great time to buy, but slower time to sell (my primary business is flipping houses) I can supplement my flipping business by providing project management services/consulting, helping investors find discounted properties, etc. etc.

That just puts too much pressure on a property to perform and adds a bit more risk than necessary. 

I don't have any specifics but as someone who is into tech, accounting/finance, and a consultant to grow businesses.

One of our favorite discoveries is that IT'S TRUE, dream opportunities DO land in your lap, the longer you're in business! 

And even if I do not get into the renting business I can make some profit if I decide to sell the property at some point.

After six months of STR performance, transition to a DSCR loan or portfolio lender refi for better terms.2.
