I live in anaheim California, when it's hot out, my upstairs apartment seems to trap all the heat inside since the ceiling is wood beams, it gets so bad that even if I open up all the windows and doors, no air flows through here.

I've had trouble with sellers in California wanting me to put down 25-50% I don't have so this could change the conversation.

The duplex was assessed at $1,575K (in California) but it requires a lot of work.

I recently completed an attached ADU Gardena, CA and received my certificate of occupancy by the city.

If we could afford the price point in our local market we would stay in the Southern California market but its simply too expensive. 

I live in California so this housing market is not very beginner friendly.

There is one book for 49 states and a separate book for California. 

Considering a Reverse 1031 for my next transaction, especially with the high prices in CA—it seems like a worthwhile strategy.

I currently own multiple rental properties in both CA and TN.

I'm Chris from Costa Mesa, CA, soon to be Dallas TX.
