The environment now with higher interest rates and higher purchase price does make it more difficult but definitely doable. 

With a competitive landscape for all types of real estate I had a very difficult time finding opportunities where the price and numbers looked good, and the seller was motivated enough to carry a note.

I want to use the equity to purchase another investment property but due to my properties being in LLCs, it has been much more difficult than I thought it would be.

However, from my research it seems as though getting financed for a property with an llc that shows no income can be difficult.

Its also the right sort of thing to do to try and help someone navigate a difficult time. 

The cities laws make landlord very difficult for raising rents and evicting tenants. 

While I don't actively work with commercial deals I work with our commercial broker in our office to connect my clients.

Lets connect if you have any questions, I just help a client do this.

I remember a buddy who once represented a client in the Santa Cruz Mountains.. this client turned an old barn into a shared art studio and invited local artists to rent the space, which ended up boosting inccome in ways they never imagined.The Redwood market can be tricky because of environmental restrictions, zoning quirks, and limited inventory.
