Hi Jose Luis,Your property near Camp Pendleton sounds like a great candidate for the mid-term rental niche!

Quote from @V.G Jason: Quote from @Bob Stevens: Quote from @V.G Jason: HOI & HOAs have been killer here, but if you're going to hedge your bets than house hacking is as sound as it gets.

Living in the Los Angeles area sounds somewhat similar to what you experienced with cost of homes etc. thank you for writing this up!

If you discover one that sounds potentially relevant, and you have not explored it - see if you can still get hold of your accountant before 12/31 and ask them.

Looking for reasons to increase those expenses sounds counterproductive. 5.

Hi Frank, sounds like you’ve built a solid foundation and have exciting plans ahead - If you're planning to scale, you might also want to explore hard money loans or DSCR loans alongside private lending.

Keeping a 2.99% rate sounds great, but it may be costing you thousands of dollars if you are in the double digits with your other outstanding debts.

In your case, it sounds like a similar story.. you identified a property with potential, tackled the structural work, and brought it back to life in a way that justifies a higher price.

Bottom line....sounds like a scam. 

I’m sure it’s location specific but $6,000 sounds way too much.
