With zoning changes making California’s real estate market even more attractive, now’s a great time to dive in.

You can even blow insulation into walls from the inside without gutting the walls especially if you plan to patch and skim the walls anyways. 

I know little about owner financing, and to be honest, if I take on a 300k house payment (or even 250k for that matter), I would struggle to make the payment if I had a prolonged vacancy due to my current W2 income. 

Let's talk,DanIve actually been looking into buying a condo myself as an investment, I have a few rules, needs to be with both good hoa management & relatively cheap fee (bellow $600 a month) needs to be in area where I’m not competing against other new construction apartments, needs to be an area where even townhomes are so expensive you are not competing, I.e. upper nw, nova, Bethesda etc. needs to be 1990’s or newer in most cases.

You may need to replace insulation, sheetrock, or even framing material.The only way I would touch it is to have a contractor give me an estimate for renovation, then lower the price far enough to handle that renovation.

Because it was a new construction, the land that was built up around the property did not have time to even grow grass, so it was easily washed away.

The regular coffe drinker is fine with those and even the coffee 'snobs' will put up with one for a weekend trip.

Not even the stock market (as long as the rental leveraged).   

We also believe with the right setup and amenities, it is possible to be successful even in a saturated market. 

If the land is in a suitable location, this could open up opportunities for developing 2 homes or even selling off one of the lots, which could lead to a good profit.
