He layed out a step by step process and held me accountable through multiple weekly calls to make sure I was executing on what I needed to.

Hi Alex..sounds like a good idea, but unlikely to be executable within a quick timeframe.

Increased Property Value: Well-maintained properties with thoughtfully executed improvements can significantly increase in value.

A 1031 exchange would seem to make a lot of sense, but you need to have a firm plan in place to execute on this when you sell. 

As far as a second/vacation home and STR would you consider MTR to travel nurses/business people?  

I'm particularly passionate about BRRRR and residential redevelopment.Outside of real estate, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family and friends.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Take a policy loan against the cash value (5-6% current loan rates) in advance of the auction so cash is on-hand, purchase real estate, execute business plan on home, repay policy loan, and repeat. 

I'm invested in a property near the Grove that's executing that business plan now.At a simpler level, that might mean buying a house with a garage, converting the garage into an ADU, and renting out the ADU.I think a super solid first step to get into the LA market is to househack a home or a multifamily.

The (property management) owners had great knowledge, answers, and talked about their systems, but that didn't translate to execution at the manager level.
