I'd have to see your overall layouts but I think you are on the right track. we build 3 story stacked triplexes and it's very efficient so don't be afraid to go up either. anytime you build more than 1 structure costs are much higher but if its just to offset mortgage and you want to be separate then I understand. 

They are a bit undersized but perfectly suitable for 1 bedroom apartments and the slight increase in costs is far less than the costs associated with venting the units properly.

What's up, brother!

I'm looking for ways to invest in up-and-coming markets in Southern California, such as in San Bernardino County and Riverside County.

The guy who runs it lays it out like this..1-5 rentals you are still doing okay, have more stuff come up between all rentals the closer you get to 5 or at 5.

Family becomes brutal when its time to split up land or decide what to do, plus with the heirs laws you or your siblings kids have rights to the property.

For those who’ve used it, what strategies or sources have worked best for you when covering the difference between your loan and the total project cost?

Some people will push to get the maximum, even if it means they may wind up with nothing.

I’m working with local investors who are snapping up everything they can get their hands on, and honestly, I can’t blame them.
