I would get an entry level project management job and let the MBA fast track me for promotions up through business management (product manager, program manager, director, and on up). 

We are living in a time when consumers have the greatest access to research, reviews and reference information to look up who or what is best in literally seconds, and our society promotes doing this non-stop.

If you are ready to really dive in and network with more people, I would suggest joining CFRI.net It is the local chapter of the National REIA, a non profit organization that educates, promotes local investing with local-like minded people that really want to help each other.

Again, this should be a talking point when promoting your home and if your market allows for a higher rent because of this then feel free to adjust accordingly.

I also appreciate everybody who offered practical advice that I can apply right now.Since originally posting, I have started a new diet that is focused on promoting consistent energy levels throughout the day.

If you are honest with yourself, you may realize that you would be better off driving for Uber in your spare time instead of trying to renovate a house; or you may be better off working harder at your day job and trying to get a promotion and bigger paycheck.

I'm a strong promoter of Indianapolis.

its self promotion on a subliminal BP level LOL 

Overall, CA laws try to promote ADUs to help address the affordable housing shortage but local jurisdictions can make it challenging.

I would also shop around and see what kind of promotions there are, I personally have had a great experience with Vectra Bank's HELOC, and can send you my contact.
