Other options - cash out refi to fund additional deals outside CA, shore up reserves, stockpile cash on hand & acquire more silver Eagle coins.

I posted in another thread about this same guy that he must have a silver tongue.  

I guess my spoon don’t have as much silver on it as yours since you are over 100 units.

I want to buy a house in Silver Spring, MD (a suburb of Washington, DC) for $640,000.00.

There is no silver bullet...time and effort are the keys to success.

We without a silver spoon in mouth, must be creative....Plan: Because I had no/ very little money I needed strategy that has a low barrier of entry.

@David Silver Wow thank you for all of that information!

Higher powers are most certainly not trying to keep people from owning homes (though policies like rent control often have the opposite of their intended consequences, I choose to believe that their implementation is a misguided attempt to do good, not evil intent to reduce affordability), and one silver lining for housing affordability is a wave of laws that effectively drive top down zoning allowing for multifamily construction, ADU construction, or other development. 

Most of my investments up to this point have been gold, silver and rare coins but Detroit can't be in distress forever.
