Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Brandon LashmetCorporations are s corp and c corpLLC is not a corporation - it’s a limited liability COMPANYAh, that makes sense then.

I agree with that suggestion (if the numbers make sense) as a good middle of the road option to still maintain some SoCal appreciation.

This makes perfect sense in today’s experience-driven world.

If you have a statement from a few months ago that shows interest rates and payments you could back into an estimate of what they owe - or just contact the mortgage company.Before doing that though, the first step is to really drill down on a number makes sense for you to buy the house.

I am wondering if it makes more sense to just deal with the large upfront cost to have the roof done fully or if repairing the damage will end up coming back to haunt me.It's a rather small house at just over 600sqft, for an addition is it really just a matter of getting estimates for the addition and comparing that to the additional rent I would get and seeing if it's worth it?

with no experience, it wouldn't make sense to borrow the capital of a private lender.if you have enough cash to buy a property with a traditional down payment to get your foot in the door, you can do so. 

At some point, when pure cash flow is more important, then looking at a longer buy and hold strategy may make sense.

But to sell based on how businesses are evaluated doesn't make sense.
