Currently situated in San Diego and can only afford rent for now because house prices in SoCal are bonkers.

Only because it's $250K for a house?

These days, it seems like people are coaches/mentors who used to flip houses and haven't actually done a deal in ten years, if ever.

Quote from @Celine Besson: Hi everyone,We recently moved from Memphis, TN, to Montreal, Quebec.Before leaving, we planned to invest in a small house, renovate it, and rent it out (Ultimate goal would be to BRRRR).

Knowing the average bP buy and hold investor this type of information would be for advanced investors that deal in the back end of real estate not the front end like most who just want to buy a house for under market rehab refi rent or flip. 

Is he just looking to have no house payment?  

If a seller refinanced a house at around 220k and has about 120k left in mortgage, but the house also appreciated to 450k, how do I structure a subto/seller finance deal?

If I was to trade a $300k house for a $310k house that will cost me $10k and $347/month what amount should I ask for to make up for these losses?

Perhaps we "buy" the house from them for the $328K balance to satisfy the lender and don't need a large down payment and then have a separate contract with them to pay $x per month until we've paid the full $172K amount.

And don’t forget about short-term rental insurance—it’s a must for direct bookings since you won’t have the platform’s protections.Lastly, make sure your house rules are super clear and easy to find.
