This summer, guests were treated to a new hot tub and new hardwood flooring in the living room. 

Have you ever received a hot lead from a lawyer? 

John.Getting into investing in LA with $50-100k is going to be very difficult, as you know this market is super hot and very expensive.

So if your end product is 40k  lets break it down.. not a sales pitch or what you want to hear.your turn key company or provider is going to want to make at least 10k.. that's common in the industry.. that leaves 30k to do all this... your contractor putting it all together wants to make 3 to 5k.. so that leaves say 25k to put it all together.to have a sustainable rental.. you need New mechanicals new roof.. sewer scoped and replaced if needed up graded plumbing and electrical.. new paint and flooring.. cabinets and appliances and hot water heater.. this all cost at least 15 to 20k.. leaving you to pay 5k for the asset...

Currently undiscovered, future hot spots?

It's amazing how hot blockchain is right now .

This can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars.We are in a hot building market right now, so prices to build are high.

Dogs and cats pee on laminate, hot-water humidifiers leak on it, kids start wet-mopping it when they spill something on it that they don't want Mommy to see, tenants turn off the heat when they go somewhere no matter what you write into the lease, and the stuff swells at the joints.

So, yes, technically your wife can count towards the occupation requirement, but it's geared more for military members PCS'ing or setting up a household in a new location before the veteran can occupy the home, or a member on tour in one of those unaccompanied "hardship" locations where families aren't welcome, or on deployment, not for a couple who live in the same major metropolitan area.
