Owning a duplex at 20 is a huge accomplishment, and it’s inspiring to see you’re already planning your next move.From my perspective, real estate investing is a long-term game focused on building equity, paying down debt, and maintaining stability over chasing short-term cash flow.

What is the best way to handle it so that both LLC members have a skin in the game?

It's simply a numbers game. 

Would love an opportunity to pick the brain of someone who is seasoned in the game.

So, an investor could easily cashflow right away.Those days are over.Landlording is a long-term play.

Staying ahead of the game by understanding how local regulations align with state bills like SB-9, SB-684, and SB-423 can open doors to exciting development projects.SB-9: Simplifying Lot Splits and Duplex BuildsSB-9 streamlines the process for lot splits and duplex construction, offering a straightforward way to increase property value and expand housing options.SB-684: More Flexibility for Smaller ProjectsFor urban lots under 5 acres, SB-684 makes it easier to pursue smaller housing developments, transforming overlooked properties and vacant lots into productive investments.SB-423: Faster Approvals, Fewer HeadachesNo one likes endless waiting.

Thats going to play a big role in your options i think

Thanks I hadn’t done a short term flip in a couple years and getting back into the game here in riverside county. 

I’m all done playing those games.    

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.
