But don't worry, the CA government has come up with a new and unique approach to this.

Hi Kwanza,Bay Tek (650-204-1512) would be a great starting point, but I’d also recommend reaching out to Adler Builders (650-398-9030) and Mission Home Remodeling (415-855-7269) for comparable bids.In San Francisco, you’ll need a licensed General Contractor (GC) to pull the necessary permits.

Hi Shawn, you came to the right place. 

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

Just want to make sure it's ok to use the lease agreement since it says all rights reserved to bigger pockets.

So your $10k could get you a property but what you don't think about is the tenant class is lower and the ups and downs are more frequent.  

In fact, come to the USA and live off of those of us who pay taxes.  

Here are some tips to help you start on the right path:Education Is KeyInvest in yourself first by reading or listening to books and podcasts about real estate investing.

If you base your tenant charges on the historical average, you should come very close to collecting the entire amount over a one-year period.Charge a higher rate.

All the best
