If you layout a path it may not go the exact way the plan is laid out, but you have a target that you're aiming at getting to and a lot of the secondary decisions fall into place and are clear when you know where you are headed.Congrats on being in a great place with real estate and options!

This safety measure aims to prevent structural failures and ensure tenant safety.Originally, the first inspections were due by January 1, 2025, but a recent update—AB 2579—has extended the deadline to January 1, 2026.

Aiming for larger properties on your first deal (100+ units) is definitely very ambitious. 

Those property use codes may come in handy for other purposes, such as when my municipality is aiming to ban STRs.  

We recently acquired our first commercial multifamily property, so I understand the transition you’re aiming for.

My approach isn’t aiming for an overnight transformation but rather a gradual strategy where I reinvest equity gains and cash flow into scalable opportunities.

Whichever method of lead generation you decide on, aim to establish and maintain a relationship with prospective sellers. 

Holding this for 1 month (hoping that's enough to refi) that's $5k.So my aim is to save money overall by making a cash offer and close it soon.

Or we gradually perform high-quality updates for a live-in flip, then roll the equity into a new home.Regarding rental income, we aim to boost income, lower our effective tax rate by generating more low tax-drag income with rental income (since there’s not much we can do to lower out W2 tax bills) and have retirement cash flow.To compare the financial impact over 10-20 years, we want to analyze renting versus flipping.

I am curious: what are typical occupancy rates, and how do we measure and compare them?
