We are both super interested in realestate and believe house hacking to be the first best step to building a portfolio.We recently found a unique property.

We're wondering if anyone knows an architect who's familiar with the process who can help walk us through the permitting process (we've done extensive renovations in the past, but never in this county).Also, would love to hear any pearls of wisdom from anyone who's renovated in SF (including working through the permitting process, anything you wish you knew before you started, regulations that are unique to SF, etc.)  

The ability to use financing is one of the things that makes real estate investing so unique.

There are so many different aspects to investing in real estate just like there are so many different sports.

Real estate, especially multifamily, is a team sport and you won't be able to do this alone.Attend a local Meetup group, meet brokers, meet local investors, and provide value in anyway possible.

They are like the horse and buggy; when the sports car is invented they will be crushed.

Once you have this document you will be uniquely in a position to have something to sell.

This is a team sport.5.

I work with hundreds of real estate investors, each one unique in their strengths and weaknesses.

If someone is getting $900 per month in lot rent, then this is a very unique situation and recreating it for $500K seems very unlikely.
