Double check on permits if the previous owners has done a remodel.Do not rely on agents representation.Do not work with a dual agency as a buyer, the agents first commitment is to the sellers.Allow at least a year of seasoning before determining the profits of an investment.Happy to share.

@Connor Williams yeah, what the above posts stated but it's formally called "Forward Commitment" when a builder does it (if you want to google more on it).  

Ask for a "Pre-Underwrite" this is where the bank underwrites the file and give you a "Loan Commitment" instead of a generic "Pre-approval" letter.

@Hsin-I Hsu  Owning a $2.5M house can be an expensive commitment, not just because of the upfront down payment but also due to the ongoing expenses for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades that inevitably come with homeownership.Renting at $5K a month, especially for a 4-bedroom house in the Bay Area, seems like a solid deal.

Just had my current LT tenant commit to another year so we will reevaluate again towards the end of 2025.Greg

We are now at 100% occupancy in our apartments and our restaurant is committed to a 3 year NNN lease and a $150,000 renovation at their own expense.

There are plenty of ways around an HOA but they tend to break the rules that you committed to following.

However you do have a new government that seems committed to cutting costs, cutting defense spending, and getting us out of wartime efforts. 

Develop a turnaround plan for each one and commit to it.

SRA might be an enhancement since the perpetrator committed a crime in the name of their deity?
