Build equity while gaining experience as landlords.

Cash flow depends on the down payment, but using a HELOC could keep your cash reserves intact while you get started.Make sure to build a reliable team (property managers, agents, etc.) to help you manage the property while working full-time. 

I had one give me a $1795 on one property and another one give me $1600 on the same size house just a couple blocks away.  

I'm just buying my time and making some connections while I build my credit history again - worst part about moving country haha!

Laundromats that are next to (same building) or attachedwith an access door to a coffee shop, cafe, etc are the best ones to get.

I here in the Netherlands Rotterdam working on renovating a 3 unit building

., the 2006 or 2009 IECC — International Energy Conservation Code).Cost Considerations for a 90-unit or 112-unit Project:The actual cost of qualifying for the 45L tax credit depends on various factors, including:Energy Efficiency Compliance: The primary cost will come from ensuring that each unit meets the required energy efficiency standards, which typically involve energy modeling, certification from third-party energy raters, and potentially upgrading insulation, HVAC systems, windows, and other components of the building to meet the necessary performance levels.Energy Modeling: Typically, you'll need to pay for an energy consultant or engineer to model the building's energy performance and ensure it qualifies for the credit.

And the changes, such as regulation, city development, traffic flow, building views etc happen very quickly. 

We want to purchase a property to begin building our rental portfolio but are unsure of the best approach.We live in Sonoma County, California, and I work in Healdsburg.

I suspect a decent VA could access public records and build a mainling list for you  or check Property Radar and see if there software will do that for you..
