Sometimes if that is an approval verse a bank account showing $500K for example, the agent on the list side may need a little education on what you are looking to do, I always have the lender call the agent in this situation to get them on board to get the listing agent more on board. 

As you're probably aware, AB 1482 caps annual rent increases at 5% + CPI or 10%, whichever is lower.

Any property you get into, though, you should plan to have a good capital reserve account to address the problems that will inevitably come up.If you're looking for properties that have stronger cashflow, I would look toward the South East of the USA. 

Account Closed  absolulty I would in no way advocate second position or gap funding in any way.. for those that do not have extensive real estate and construction experience.

I could sell the property and net $170k and then reinvest that and earn 9% interest annually via lending hard money. 

However, managing multiple LLCs can mean higher costs and administrative work (separate bank accounts, annual filings, etc.).It depends on your risk tolerance and ability to stay organized.

Quote from @Bruce Schussler: A lot of Podcasts and Youtuber's say to cash-out refinance to keep rents balanced with payment; (PITI) then use those funds strategically to re-invest either in more real estate or just put into a high interest bearing account or money market account...Here's some of my thoughts and comparisons;Cash-out refinance with new loan so rents balance with payment:- The cash-out refinance is 100% tax free- The funds can be put into a money-market account off-setting a portion of the interest charge of loan- The loan balance gets eventually destroyed by inflation- The liquid cash eventually gets destroyed by inflation - The interest on the new loan can be deducted from the rent income- The refinance costs are 3-4% of the total- There is less equity in the property and LLC that can be attached in case of a lawsuit- The break-even on cash-out refinance with current interest costs on the new loan is around 12 years Vs.Paid-off property with positive cash flow:- The positive rent income is 100% taxable minus only depreciation and property tax- There is more equity in the property and LLC that can be attached with a lawsuit- The break even is not until after 12 years at today's interest rates- There is a rate risk in today's inflationary environment where interest rates on bonds keep rising*It appears to me that the cash-out refi is in the best interest for a property investor; (Dave Ramsey would strongly disagree!)

Quote from @Account Closed: Hey guys,I have no experience but after looking at all my options I have come to a conclusion that my best move is to buy land and develop multi-family apartment building (15-20 unit) 2 story somewhere between Miami Jupiter.Budget for everything 3MDone with cash + 6% line of creditLooking for long term holdI would love to hear any insight on what areas I should look at, ballpark of build price (hard costs and soft costs) and would love to network with anyone in the area on this.ThanksIf you're looking to develop a 15-20 unit multifamily building with a $3M budget between Miami and Jupiter, there are a few key things to consider:Land Budget: Aim to keep land costs around 10% of your total budget.

I have a priority credit line on my brokerage account that is now > 1% lower interest rate than my mortgage.

Maybe a HELOC because it's in your account.
