It is just a job, not RE investing.Save up and buy your own place to Truley create wealth and not just make an actual owner money.

We’ve been looking at cities like Fullerton, Cypress, Anaheim, Orange, and Tustin, but we’re staying away from LA County and Santa Ana due to rental restrictions.A little about us:I’m 30, my wife is 28, and neither of us has owned property before.

To clarify, I have been studying real estate for several years, but have been otherwise engaged in operating  other businesses that my wife and I both own, both as CFO and CEO roles.

On a go forward basis, I would not own real estate within an IRA.

I own a commercial unit, and I’m trying to determine a fair rental rate for the space.

please send me a case example I'd love to read. that's one appraisal. the knowledge I have as a licensed general contractor working with investors from 5 cities at a time all over the country buidling 3 different floorplans I would say trumps one ADU you read about online This is from my own personal ADU that I recently built and recently appraised earlier this year. 

Do you own a personal residence yet?

Most people are refinancing a BRRR because they are in short term debt (like 12 month hard money used for purchase +rehab financing) or own the property free and clear (they bought all cash) and would get a higher return on equity by leveraging the property and reinvesting the cash out proceeds of the loan to scale the portfolio. 

It doesn't sound like that has happened here because you keep saying you want to transfer it etc...essentially you want to give them the property, because right now today they do not own it and have not completed AP...you're doing their job for them. 

I ultimately invested $65 cash, $5k in legal fees, and $9.7k in operational expenses while owning the home, and walked away with $17.3k after a judgement.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
