Hello AllI am a business management executive for a large global company, and we (my wife and I) are getting into local real estate investing primarily within LA county, IE, OC and Riverside area.

We completed renovated the small house and furnished it.

Almost all require you to have completed at least one deal, and most require 2 or more.

In view of the fact that I'm a newbie, complete home renovations seem out of my league (for now).

A common strategy used by investors, such as those operating through PadSplit, involves purchasing the property, completing basic rehab, refinancing, and then using cash for the interior build-out.Another potential red flag, even without converting common areas, is the addition of individual locks on bedroom doors.

I am having issues completing some room rentals on one of my properties.

1. coaching- all of the "coaches" were newbies themselves with about 1 year of experience and about 1 deal under their belts and they always disappear after 2-3 months and get replaced with new "coaches".2. networking- they have a FB group, populated primarily by other newbies. go there to answer questions, and it's likely you'll get other newbies saying "good question". there are lots of newbies hoping to get into a deal, but who wants to put together a team where every single person is brand new with no experience?

I just had one of my S8 tenants completely lose their entire voucher on their latest reassessment.

From what I can tell online, the RF1 zoning district is designed primarily for single family row houses (like townhomes).

So if you are going to be a host that outperforms your competitors and want to get fabulous reviews, there isn’t complete down time if you are self managing at the highest level.
