So, labor either is 1) under the table, which I'm opposed to on fear of getting caught plus the bookkeeping sucks, 2) me do a full payroll, which is do-able, but not cheap with workmans comp insurance, and I have more than enough to do already, or 3) put them through an employee leasing, which is easy but costs 70% over base wage, so not cheap. 

Going into a deal with an experienced multi family syndicator will increase your chances of being successful (make money) as opposed to the opposite (losing money).

Currently I'm working for a crowdfunder in underwriting.I'm also in the process of selling my first rental in OC, I'll post details about that elsewhere.I joined BiggerPockets to learn more about investing personally as opposed to on a corporate level.

just wondering...Buying something that needs work, house hack and airbnb it monthly rental is a way to go...Jax has a monthly tenant need too, or you can do annual lease too of course....you  said multifamily, t, I assume duplex, or 2+ bedroom single door, and rent out rooms..live in it for a year+ and refi cash out, repeat...hold it long enough for equity, some finc. places are doing a heloc on an investment property as opposed to requiring it to be owner occupied.., LOC are better than refi's if it applies to you come time..BBVA bank has an un unusual good loan going on for first time.. there might be rehab loan built into it.. so as for getting rehab money, there isa rehab loan out there...or can use extra rent for fixing things upgrades..

Who has an awesome evening routine?... I have dialed my morning in very well, but there is room for improvement at night time for me! Thanks! -Sean

overall newer inventory (60's and newer as opposed to 20's downtown) and fairly well built homes. 

(because i dont think you should) I’m saying this to recommend you *don’t* double down on more extenders which could likely exacerbate what i *believe* to be a bandwidth (as opposed to signal) problem.

I ultimately am looking for passive income through rentals weather single family or multiplexes, however with being a carpenter I’m not opposed to eventually getting to the point to flip a house.
