That’s a game-changer when it comes to flipping profits.Your scenario reminds me of a client I worked with in San Diego who flipped a condo after living there for a couple of years.

**“Kendric, first off, you’re already ahead of the game with your willingness to learn and adapt—plus, having a ‘mishap’ fund shows you’re planning smart! 

In addition- if it's not working and the tenant takes legal action, the judge certainly isn't going to be on your side when you tell them a flooring contractor said it was warm in the house.This game is all about mitigating your risk by being proactive.

I personally like one sponsor who has been through multiple real estate cycles without losing any investor money, puts very large amounts of skin in the game, is conservatively leveraged and has a very good 1031 exchange program.

I'm always game to chat real estate.

You can only play games for so long.Chances are your next door neighbor is an IRS agent and turns you in when your tenants blocks their drive or some other random event disturbing your IRS neighbor.ADU catches fire and your insurance won't cover you, because it was an illegal and unpermitted structure.The city inspector told the last guy not to build or rent it, and is now pissed and wants to make an example of you and just red tags the whole property and no one can occupy for the next 1-2-3 years while you wait for a hearing.Then when you get the hearing, "staff" recommends you tear the whole structure down, and if you still want an ADU, you can apply for a permit and rebuild it.Your tenant quits paying rent and won't move out and you can't evict them, because there is no valid lease and they're just your "roommate".Probably a dozen other bad things can happen to you when you do stuff like this. 

And answering your phone calls while watching the games does not turn your living room into a home office.

When you have won the game, it's time to stop playing."

It’s always helpful to hear how others structure these kinds of deals, especially with larger properties like mobile home parks.Also, what’s your game plan moving forward?

Unfortunately most lack the balance sheet to obtain favorable financing, can't afford to put any skin in the game and fail to make a compelling reason for why the investment makes sense or to justify the structure they are seeking.
