Due to the likelihood of needing to replace AC and/or furnaces in the next 5 years, there will probably be another year or two of near zero cash flow at some point.When I bought these houses, the neighborhoods had a lot of rental homes, but were still desirable affordable neighborhoods.

Efficient Renovations: Focused on high-impact upgrades like modernizing the kitchen and bathrooms, improving curb appeal, and installing energy-efficient features, which are highly desirable in this competitive market.Optimizing Layout: Evaluated the property's layout to ensure it met modern buyer preferences, such as creating open-concept spaces.

While living with your parents can be beneficial, the desire for privacy is valid, especially with a family.

Do you feel like you are stepping up and doing what you need to do to obtain the life and results you desire? 

Out out state can offer other advantages but CA is still a desirable place to live.

It's middle class, low crime, clean & zoned in one of the top desirable High schools. 

So understand the desire for financial freedom.  

These people are probably making more playing on fomo and desire to be self sufficient than the wholesaling they claim to do. 

I have a live-in (22 year old son) rehab (pt Loma) starting Dec 1 if you desire to see the pre-rehab condition reach out to me a couple days before Dec 1.  

With strategic updates and market insight, this property became a highly desirable investment, showcasing the power of effective collaboration and value-driven improvements.
