Has anyone used this method to to sell the house at profit? 

As you start going closer to to the 71, the areas get really sketchy.There is a pretty good post here on BP that goes over many zip codes in KC.

I certainly would NOT do this at all if I did not have other positive cash flow properties to to hedge against the variety of circumstances that could turn it into negative cash flow.

I did find a local 203k consultant that I plan on reaching out to to help through the process.

It is worth looking in to to see what you'd qualify for on a multifamily property where you can house hack by renting out one of the units and even renting the other room(s) in the unit you will be occupying.Since you are opening on distance within san diego going north county such as escondido and fallbrook then beyond that you'd be going to Riverside county...Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, etc

Last I am looking to to move my real estate brokers license to an affiliated business or connect them in some way. 

At the very least, your few thousand dollars a year saves you the dozens of hours that you'll spend trying to to stay on top of all these tax rules as they apply to your situation, understanding the nuance, and also filing your own return.

IF your QI doesn't do that then you got a whole heap of other problems.Ir'a nor going to to just get swept under the rug so take that lender with a big shaker (not grain) of salt.The way to do this is if the Carriage house can be considered a second dwelling with it's own address. 

I think it would be easier to to buy a new build then take equity out after a year or so to purchase your another rental.

I personally think one of the best ways to learn is to to work with someone first.
