And the new AC unit (seller put in) was stolen right before move in - thieves climbed a 7 foot fence.

As we underwrite, new, small multifamily developments, and lot splits we are seeing that there are cash flow rental opportunities that we’re not there before.For example, a 1200 square-foot house on a .2 acre lot is now able to be turned into a 2, 3 or four unit small multi family with opportunities even to add an ADU to the back of the property.

Done this myself - bought and sold properties without even getting my foot in the door. 

I am someone who learns by doing, and beside reading as many books as possible during this time I am looking for ways to get my foot in the door of real estate investing.

I had a good friend when I lived in Napa and played golf with him frequently he was a Brain Surgeon and had the yipes something fierce could not make a 2 foot put to save his life..

You will pay $7,000 up front and about $20 a foot to outfit the property so lets say about $37,000 all in.
