@Gino BarbaroI love your approach as I have a similar approach.Go big or go home isn’t always the right approach.As you note, in a market where one has a strong existing footprint, it’s easy to pick up additional smaller assets.That’s what we do in Greenville SC.It’s our only market and we own buildings that range in size from a triplex to 181 units - doesn’t matter to us.

• Short term rental of one's own primary residence only• Not able to rent a room or primary residence for more than 120 days a year, or apply for extended home-sharing• Extended home-sharing would be granted if additional criteria are met (see above)• Possession of a Transient Occupancy (Tax) Registration Certificate from Office of Finance• Not located in a unit subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO)• Approval from landlord (if a tenant)• Home-Sharing takes place in area approved for residential useHere is the document - https://planning.lacity.org/or...I would give them a call and see what they say.

Estimated Market Value: $290,000 to $330,000One of the most satisfying aspects of this investment is that the duplex is now operating at break-even, and we managed to secure it at a 10% discount below market value, showcasing the value of strong relationships and strategic decision-making in real estate investing.This deal exemplifies the importance of being adaptable to market conditions and leveraging existing networks to uncover hidden gems in the real estate landscape.
