I'm a real estate investor based out of San Diego, and I currently own a duplex in Vista.

Likely.If you don't have the time to respond in your voice, based on your own experience, you probably shouldn't spend time in the forums just to say welcome only, cut and paste, or use AI.I await the first "Who made you the forum police?"

I'm based in California and hoping to make my first investment within the next 2-3  months.

(Making judgements based on family status, number of kids, medical animals, etc etc..)4) When you get that first repair call 10pm Saturday night for a leaking roof or water heater do you have a trusted/dependable guy to call and get it fixed that night?

I wasn’t thrilled about paying more on top of the base cost as well as you.

Some lenders specialize in asset-based lending, considering rental income on Schedule E, especially if you have strong rental history.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

Of course, there is very literally entities out there who make there living via filling frivolous lawsuits than offering settlements at cost savings vs one fighting to prove innocence, and they target those "marks" based on such searches.     

Good day, Derek,Based on what you have presented this investment appears promising, offering a strong cash-on-cash return and ample opportunities for value creation.

Appraisals aren't based on potential.
