CA probate laws can be very difficult and costly.

My realtor recommended SDIRA Wealth, a company known for its high-volume new builds every year.

The expert you are looking for is called a Land Surveyor, they're going to want 5k-15k, if you want to make any money on your project you need to build a house so you also need an architect, they will want 10k-50k, if you're in a hillside zone you will also need a geologist, they're going to want 10k, you will also need a biologist, they're going to want 2k-5k.

The way I finally found success was through repetition and then building systems as you repeat to help you scale...

Have the co-op take out a loan for 60% of building value, then charge buyers 20% of value in cash for each unit. 

My biz partner and I 100% believe community and building authentic relationships in the real estate space is so important for growth.

Sometimes, mixing family and business can be difficult, but I am happy you all are thriving.

I want to find something local (Los Angeles area), move in, do small renovations to possibly build up more equity, do a 1031 exchange, and find something better. 

Building a trusted team is key, so starting that process as you actively search for your market will put you in a strong position moving forward.
