Any MF of the quality and size (50 up) I would have been interested in would have been cash flow negative for the next 5 years or so, even with 30% down.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

Quote from @Matthew Crivelli: Personally, I'm not a fan of Air B & B.

Any tips?

Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

Limited labor and resources : Unlike the catastrophic fires in Lahaina Hawaii there are significant resources in Los Angeles to contribute to recover, but quality contractors, tradesman, plumbers, electricians and laborers have long been in short supply.

After months of blood, sweat, and bargaining with contractors who seemed to vanish into thin air, I finally flipped it for $180,000.

But if you were to use it as an air bnb or ir it is raw land that you can generate income from by farming or renting out to farmers or grazing that would certainly work.

.• Use some equity from the sale to make this transition smoother.I’m torn between maintaining our current home as an asset and buying  a new smaller house to use as a rental after we move back in versus simplifying and focusing on a single upgraded property Considering factors like market trends, potential equity growth, and quality of life, which path do you think would be most beneficial?

Take a look at the pictures, is it higher, lower, middle quality compared to yours.
