@John BerjIf cash flow is a top priority, factor in HOA fees (common with new builds) and confirm rent comps to ensure the numbers work.

We will then, as the units turn over, get rents up a good bit further with additional design improvement renovations and hopefully reno into lower interest rates when they drop or at the very least in 5 years on our 20 year we'll have paid off enough to refi into a smaller loan.That is the only kind of smaller deal we can find in neighborhoods where we want to buy now. 

@Cynthia Lee you should confirm this with an experienced landlord-tenant attorney!

My last remodeling co. was a specialty Design Build firm.

It could be some sort of skill set for renovations, design for furnished rentals, specific market knowledge, owner occupied loan products for a house hack, etc. 

Signed into law in 2021, SB 9 is designed to address the housing crisis by allowing greater density in residential neighborhoods.

Cat odor is far more problematic than a small dog, but I would check landlord references to confirm how they've maintained their last residence.

So I picked up a few books which includes, "The Book on Investing In Real Estate With No (and Low) Money Down," and "The Book on Rental Property Investing," both by Brandon Turner, which introduced me to the BiggerPockets community.With a decade of experience in property management under my belt, along with my property management certifications and an NC real estate broker’s license (with Broker-In-Charge designation), I’m eager to leverage my background to secure long-term financial stability for my family.
