If I had an MTR at hit 90% I would potentially raise depending on the market but likely keep as is. 

Do you have any other tips on "the live" in flip potential in LA? 

I completed an internship in commercial real estate, and I also attended a couple of local REIA meetings/networking events before moving to Northern VA.I was able to narrow down potential strategies, and I figured both BRRR as well as wholesaling don't seem to be the best strategies for me.

My goals are small multifamily to financial freedom with potential to scale to large multifamily for great success.

I understand Vermont has slightly more stringent regulations to contend with but it would also be closer for us geographically and thus potentially easier to manage.

I'll also check with the city on any potential liens, I think any inspection would have to be done after my $15k deposit so it would be a high risk, high potential reward type deal, and there is a 15+ bids already.

So, it would then potentially cost you a penalty for early withdrawl and also income tax owed on it.

Now that you have the correct terminology, you can search for lots of potential solutions. 

If that doesn’t work, requesting a second appraisal is a calculated risk, but the potential upside might justify the $1,000 gamble.

Done multifamily, SFR, STRs... and finally found the niche that I love the most and believe has the most potential for decades to come.
