A House hack / Pad Split property in Las Vegas, Nevada.

If it's something as easy as adding a parking pad then I would say it usually can make sense.

To be honest, I´m in the Maintenance & Construction for corporate businesses for some US companies in Mexico and we do some Real Estate down here also, but it´s way much different than the US, so I have much to learn from a lot of people around here and as @Julio Gonzalez, I think this is pretty much the right pad and place to start and to break my fears to start all over again from scratchAlso, I´ld like to hear more from @Justin Brickman why he voted for his city, pros and cons, it will help to read from a local...As I said before, thank you all guys for taking the time to write in this post and share some experienceDo you plan to owner occupy. $40k will not get you a non owner occupied San Diego property unless you find some unlikely alternate financing.

.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

I have some concrete pads in the back of some of my homes, and I have added Costco type storage units to rent it out.

The wrong chemistry, well, see what happens if you put a few drops of brake fluid into dry pool chlorine (actually, do not do this!).

A financial calculator and legal pad might work in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, but that doesn't mean it's the best way to do it.

Pad plan.

I focus almost 100% on my pad ready land cost to come up with profitable deals. 20% of gross development value is the most I will pay for land.
