If I were you, I would start this way, if you are new to real estate investing.

Want to contribute the the community before I start asking for help.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

It's no guarantee but it's a good place to start.

I started house hacking in the San Diego area.

Right, @Karla Garcia but the trick in rehabbing is that you may think you know what needs to be done and how much it's going to cost until you start the process and then you knock down a wall and realize the whole house needs to be gutted!

@Cyndi Lees the thing that catches my eye in your post is that it would require quite a bit of work to get it started as a rental.

Originally this started as a house hack I have recently moved out and it is now a 2 unit with one half being furnished rental.

I’ve been coaching new investors for a while and many lack funds to get started but find both the lack of knowledge, experience, and funds, often derails them. 

Make the start date of the lease contingent and effective upon closing.
