The SAs are a major commitment, and I applaud you for going that route. 

@Neil Narayan I can hear California singing that George Strait classic song "All my Exes Live in Texas...."

The goal for 2021 is a laundromat for Going Coastal, and personally, it’s looking like a 1031 into either a small hotel (couple offers shot down so far), or if the right situation came along, a value-add self-storage facility just for the purposes of diversifying away from the beach.

The money saved would allow me to better fund the rehab.Would appreciate opinions on forgoing a buyers real estate agent to represent me since I live there, know the market, and already have a relationship with the seller, have access to the property, etc. 

This shouldn’t be ground for going to a different market.

Thank you for going over that for me. 

I would like to forgo using HUD.

There's still a cost for going this route, but its much less expensive and time consuming than getting your license.

@Genny LiThank you so much for going through these properties.

Instead we rented it for a song knowing all the money would be made on the sale not on CF.
