@Silas Melson, I agree with @Bruce Woodruff that a price per square foot approach is likely to be the least accurate and least useful.

In rare instances we will let someone pay through Square or Stripe, with them paying the cc fee, but only in unusual cases, such as one time with a tenant who was traveling and didn't have a bank account to use with our online platform.

All the rest can be subbed out unless you are doing a full remodel by adding square footage to the house/converting a space (bath/bed etc).

I don't think that photos would help us with anything much, other than a 30,000 foot view. 

i'm expanding my buy and hold strategy now to get my foot wet on trying rehab, and would like to work with reliable wholesalers who can provide the source. 

We believe that with the right partnership, this project can still achieve great success.Thank you. its tough to build new in markets were existing properties are selling for far less than new construction per foot..

The key element is :"the intent of which is the transfer of title"in law, the intent can be the determining factor, it doesn't have to actually occur or be done in a specific manner.You can speed because you have your foot down too hard on the pedal or you can speed because you are going down hill.

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

You can also double hack these if you have enough units and live in one unit and use one unit for your business, but of course that decreases your cash flow but increases your usability.You can also use an FHA loan to get a mixed-use property with only 3.5% down if the residential square footage if more than 50% of the total square footage.

@Pearse CafieroWhen starting out with your first rental property in Los Angeles, I’d recommend exploring FHA loans or private lending options to get your foot in the door.
