After seeing his "miraculous" results [superpower?]

Odds are this tenant will never fully catch up on his rent and even if he miraculously does it will just be a matter of time before things go south again.It's a tough situation because you live there and I think you need to worry about you and your family first and foremost.

The lien miraculously came off about 24 hours later.

Then miraculously they sell the house for $50-150k higher than comps in the area, netting over $100k profit, every episode.

And 9 oz. of that miraculous Odie's Oil costs an eye-popping 40 bucks from Rocker.

He has to list the property, he has to get multiple offers, he then tips off his investor who miraculously puts in an offer $1k above yours, and you're SOL.Complete waste of time and energy.Last one we did, the guy relisted the property with the same agent and tripled the price.

Since you're converting into a rental, your refi rate will very likely be higher since the bank sees investments properties as higher risk than primaries.If you have a lender you really trust you could talk with them about options but I wouldn't hinge your plan on anything miraculous happening on the bank's end.

However I was able to find the following that we all agreed on:A GOOD CPAAN EXCELLENT  probate/trust ATTY An excellent RE agentWith the above and and a *lot* of teeth knashing and fighting we were miraculously able to come to an agreement we all could live with.

But BP Podcast 73 with Mehran Kamari opened my eyes to out of state investing when you're faced with a local market like LA so long as you have "boots on the ground" in the other state.For someone like me who is just starting off, with a decent income, should I go for the expensive LA rental if the numbers somehow miraculously work or is it wiser to partner and look towards out of state hot spots given the full time job situation?

You will regret buying anything, and lose a lot of money within 5 years, unless the government miraculously becomes better.
