Buying rental properties is investing in a business and a place to make your money and time work for you.

It's probably going to mean paying points at closing, a high rate, and a serious pre-payment penalty (like 5 years). 

If your properties are all located in CA I would advise looking in states like IN, OH, FL, TN, OR, GA and a few other states depending on comfort zone.

Your mentor’s advice about starting with a rental property is solid, and a duplex could be a great option for house hacking.

My mum currently lives there, she is 80 and not very well, but you would also become a tenant in common and as such if you had the time you could profit 100% from the transaction, as I need cash urgently and am willing to heavily discount the asset.I am wondering if there is a market out there where someone wants to get a foothold in the London market by buying my part of the property.
