That seems but CA charges income tax on home sales.  

I want to work my way into anything full time because I have a decent job now but eventually i want to have real estate/construction replace my income. 

Before it accrues OP pays back the HELOC with next income.

@David LewisRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

However, this would force them to move out, lose their current rental income, and have to pay rent off their limited salary. 3.

I look forward to learning from the veterans here....My interest is mainly in STR and LTR investments with the goal of eventually replacing the income from a tech job i left recently...

Adding extra income streams, like charging for utilities or offering laundry services, can also help improve cash flow.

The income potential for STR How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

So, now we are barreling down that process as we had not originally thought we'd be going that route and I am trying to figure out how/what sources I'm allowed to use to verify their income.
