It was a pain, but in the end, I came out ahead as there are rent caps in the area and got good tenants. 

Rent control on MF and if prop 33 passes (last polling I saw had it ahead) it could apply to all housing.  

. $700/month HOA fee may deter buyers, elongating your resale timeline, and could push your ARV closer to the lower end of your range.

You risk going over and then you are no further ahead if you sell.If you do renos and rent it for $300-400 a month more, it will take you more than 5 years to get the reno money back.

I always remember that rockstars know rockstars, so find someone who is a mover and shaker - likely a meetup host - and then ask them who they know.The people doing 100 flips are super busy, so I've also found the best person to find is someone who is a step or two ahead of me...so maybe for you, that is someone doing 2-3 flips a year. 

Was there a push for global carbon capture to lesson this thing of impact?

Keep pushing on this—you’ve got a property with a lot of potential.

I forged ahead, moved into the house and used credit cards to partially improve the property before they maxed out. 

If it’s not then it should be a no brainer to get your $ back @Chris Seveney  I know there were liens because I saw them on Propstream and when I pushed the wholesaler on the issue he confessed (two days before the closing date) that there were a Few liens on the property.     

I would like to push it out to 45-90 days.
