Or maybe I'm way off base and the modern day Einsteins of Marco/Alex, and Tai were going to defeat low-cost on-line shops like Amazon/Wal-Mart and TEMU.

If you buy an EV, you have a large battery sitting in your garage that can be used to power your home in an emergency.

That means no HOA neighborhoods, which rule out many places.  3bedroom might make it tough to work, unless you're sleeping in the laundry or garage and renting full 3bedrooms. 

I also intend to owner occupyI was thinking if there is a small studio or even a garage within the four plex ,that should cover the IRA part and the rent from that studio/garage can be accounted and deposited directly into the IRA account please advisethanksFollowing - I'm based in the Easy Bay.  

Quote from @James Heller: Hey everyone -- I have a ~1000 sqft townhouse (on 2 levels) here in San Diego, and I'm looking to do some updates and modernize the place.

This trabct has a farmhouse 3 bed 2 bath, 4 car garage, and two barns.

They even have a value add less than performing a garage conversion.  

The house was a 3/2, 1650 sqft, with 2 car garage.

While rates were near all time lows, we bought a home that we could reside in and rent out the backyard detached living garage space.

Other small things I do besides leasing, mangement, some maintenance, are installing keypads to doors, programming gate remotes, garage remotes, doing walk throughs, doing walk through videos (15-20 mins move in/move out videos), advertising videos, take care of our website, our portal, fix the gates and cameras when they go out, just like everything you can think of.
