You’re totally exposed to being strung along the way you’re doing it. 

Moving forward scaling with hard money loans may be the best bet and would avoid the headaches of living in a construction project. 

Your best bet is to find and contact all of the top local wholesalers and go to work for one of them and see what they do right and wrong and see if it's even a business you like.

Well the bet I'm making here is that CapEx and repairs will be very low the first few years (honestly event he first decade), and once all the construction ends I will be able to increase my rent closer to market rent at $2k which will give me a better cushion.

Consider this: there are an estimated 10K homes in Pacific Palisades, at least half of which were destroyed. 25% were constructed during the 60-70's and +/- 75 TOTAL were built in the past FIVE years. 

Kieran, the best bet here is to refinance with a DSCR loan.

I wouldn't bet my life on 50%, but I would bet they are more problematic than the typical long-term renter.

THANKS Your local credit union might be your best bet.

You bet.

12 or 24 Month Bank Statement is probably the best bet.
