I already have a hand shake deal on the next property, another duplex, that I will buy come summer time.  

thats $116,161.92 total.  

We bought it in cash with 9 investors for a total of 970k contributed.  

For weeks/months/years it could be totally fine, without incident. 

I’ve househacked a handful of properties and am currently doing so now.

Your accountant should be able to factor that into your total cost. 

Landlord-tenant regulations are a bit complex in California and getting hands on is the best way to learn before expanding into larger investments. 

Totally agree!

On the other hand, many landlords were able to obtain low mortgage rates during the historically low interest rate environment during the Pandemic, allowing them to offer a much more attractive housing cost to renters.

I don't remember exactly but it was around $10k total for labor and the 2 new boilers.
