We have done some lending on these types of properties.

How have you gone about this process for markets outside of your own?

I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

I have around $100K in liquid capital and access to a $50K HELOC at 6% for the next 10 months before it transitions to a variable rate.I have a unique situation where I earn a living through sports betting, which limits my ability to show traditional income growth.

I live in LA, and have a rental here as well.

We focus on strategic acquisitions, underwriting, and asset management, ensuring strong returns for our investors.Beyond real estate, I have a background in business development and love helping others navigate investments, partnerships, and scaling their businesses.

I've been going about as long as you have and things are starting to come together and happen for me here in Sacramento.

However, my risk is lower as the 2 bed/1 bath apartment I am considering for this setup doesnt have any major appliances nor copper as it is a 1960's build.

Quote from @Karolina Powell: I have a side by side duplex built in the late 1800s and the tenant is constantly complaining about the noise from next door.
