This is my first time and I'm buying a fixer upper that needs a new compressor, roof and a total kitchen remodel.

I've already renovated one of the bathrooms, and I’m planning to paint the interior, update the kitchen cabinets, possibly sand the wood floors, build a fence is a corner lot and increase the rent for the room since my tenant is currently renting the entire 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house for $800 a month.

We improve the kitchen and the patio but just because we live here.

Aside from not paying any rent since July, claiming she lost her 2 jobs due to COVID19 (and the California eviction ban protecting her) she's been complaining that there's a gap in the kitchen floor where flies could fly in, and black mold in the shower.  

Time really does fly when you're having fun (and working hard).

Way to go @Glenn McCrorey , I went in the same position as you 12 years ago, when I started my full time real estate investment. 400 properties later, i am still going strong.

I’ve seen first-timers freeze up at the mention of “compliance,” and I can’t blame them.
