It depends on your view of the government, I guess.The trustee of the WLLC is the one who would sign on the deed so my name would be out of it.

@Kim Porciunculaare you able to visit in person to view properties and build your team?

I'd be open to most towns in the south bay, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Cupertino, etc.  

He also claims there is no guest house in the backyard (even though it's clearly pictured in RedFin photos and on Google satellite view). 

You could have something make more money in a 3 year horizon but you need your return in 6 or 12 months etc.Do you have an address of the property for a Google street view to see how it is positioned on the road and in the market? 

This point of view would require additional research and due diligence to determine what is best you.

I view a HELOC as a great short term debt instrument to get you into deals - like a flip, BRRRR, or a deal that you can't pass up while waiting to sell another property. 

You need to get in front of where things are going in your view; your view may be wrong, so take that into account too.My view on REI and a little in macro-- primo lands will be more primo, investor pools will run to chase dollars which in turn makes non-investment grade areas a better return on equity, managing and owning debt may be a better return than equity, international equity exposure may be superior to domestic, liquidity and cash reserves will remain highly valuable and the notion of all cash needs to be invested will no longer be pushed as hard.

Or are you concerned whether you will be able to conduct the walkthrough properly with furniture and personal belongings blocking views?

Looking for your views on the area between Hemet and Temecula.
