I am leaning on local first for my next investment, but not ruling out an out-of-market opportunity. 

You can't get "clear title" until all leans are cleared, whichever way that happens SOMETIMES, but not frequently, the 1st and 2nd will combine and both will be included in the auction.

You would need to tap into what the market may draw because not all markets could support this type of guest avatar.You may be able to get just enough bookings to at least cover your monthly expenses by leaning into your listing and how you market the property.

For California, ADU's are still the untapped gold (ok, maybe silver but still) mines that I see a lot of folks leaning into. 

I am leaning towards the self-manage option and got several questions regarding self managing a property while living out of state.

Theyre great products for self employed borrowers who will not qualify for traditional loans, but there's a premium for that convenience.

First, they allow you to make lower payments during lean times, such as during remodeling, vacancies, or when you need to qualify for a loan before completing a renovation.

If you’re leaning toward selling your share, offering seller financing could definitely attract a wider pool of buyers while keeping the deal intact. 

Bigger Pockets can help provide most of those professionals for you and lean on them to find the home, renovate if needed, manage, etc.

Most 1-4 unit real estate investors are using DSCR loans right now for any buy and holds while flippers lean on higher leverage bridge/fix and flip loan options with higher interest rates.
