Now that house has been rented out for the past two years, and I want to buy another possible duplex or triplex to house hack.

Focusing on connecting with as many people as possible and looking at plenty of deals. 

I still have plenty time left saving but when the time comes I’ll either be looking into conventional  loans, or some type of remodel loan to pay for the repairs of the property I am looking to fix up, because as far as I’ve seen so far it’s hard to find a good deal starting out unless you buy it as discounted as possible and put some sweat equity into it, let me know your thoughts on that ur possible.

Possibly.

If the LLC and its income are entirely outside California, it typically does not require registration with the California Secretary of State (SOS) or payment of California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) fees, even if you reside in California.

You want the price that works for you in the best appreciation potential area possible.

This year, I am optimistic it will cover the entire mortgage.

Between now and then, I am committed to learn and connect as much as possible!
