Not doing anything to get better education or employment opportunities.

As I mentioned in my previous responses to this thread, I am employed by LoanGuys as a customer service representative.

My numbers on that property are good now, although it took a year for me to sort out exactly what we wanted to do with it. 700k duplex, single story, about 2,500 sq ft total building size. 1500 sq ft for the 3 bed/2 bath with pool and 1,000 sq ft 2/1 small private yard on the other. 

Assuming this scenario is true, I cannot see a scenario where coastal RE near Los Angeles does not have over sized appreciation.   2nd homes is not going to make a significant dent in this increased demand. best wishes

I own a good size portfolio there.

MLS has it as a single family residence, 3 bedroom, 1.5 baths (actually has 2.5 baths), approx 1500+ sqft, 9k+ lot size, 2 car garage, back yard. 

But if employing your family works for you and for them - great, go ahead.

Consolidation needs to cycle, with all infrastructure maturing to fully meet new size and facilitate continued growth.

Seeing as they have full utilities and stick built, they should be categorized as real property and have good value for their size.

Don’t want to sell their property outright but are willing to share future income in exchange for immediate funds.It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.
