It's sick and twisted.

Hardly anything to get your underwear in a twist over.Investing locally where you have boots on the ground and limit the need to rely on others for your investments is a strong positive for investing in your own backyard.

In many cases, you're helping along an illusion in someone's fragile mind, an illusion that can ultimately become very dangerous.Hope I'm not twisting your words, Joe.

I will acknowledge that changing a fluorescent bulb is a little harder than a regular twist out.

Here is the twist! 

It is a little bit of a twist on the BRRRR strategy but it was a good option for me because I didn’t have all the cash up front. 

You'll probably find out it's relatively easy to get the loan, but every employer's plan language is a little different and every plan administrator has their own twist in how they do things.I used a loan from my 401(k) along with every bit of savings I could get my hands on to fund my first real investment deal back in 2018. 

There’s a long, twisted road of lack of communication, a “property manager”, a tenant (not mine), a landlord, and 2 plumbing companies upon which the destination is my current dilemma.

(Or are roaches a whole new twist?) 

My 2 cents to the mix would be The ADU is the only way so far [SB 9 and 10 not withstanding] - You should be able to take the SFR and do an attached JADU up to 500 sq ft, then you can [lot size permitting and every city has its own code so do some research] another detached or even attached regular ADU - and as long as you live there as owner occupied you can live in the SFR part, rent out the ADU and JADU- the twist we do is to rent out 30+ days as a furnished rental.
