I’m a full-time sales professional at a global GSI, so I’m seeking relatively efficient strategies.Has anyone successfully used cash-out refinances, 1031 exchanges, or other equity-based approaches to boost income?

Just like you wouldn't buy a stock without researching the company, you shouldn't buy a property without knowing the market, running the numbers, and understanding your tenant base.👀 Risk ManagementBoth investments require risk management:Stocks: Company performance, market conditions, economic factorsReal estate: Property maintenance, tenant quality, local market changesBut guess what?

Hi BiggerPockets Community,My name is Yael Doron, and my husband, Ido, and I are real estate investors based in Israel.

I am local to Los Angeles - based in Orange County.A bit about me: I’m a civil engineer by profession with experience in local government.

We can start with permitting - between software upgrades / changes - reviewers that have rejected plans because of a slope in a shower on a mastered plan, the sheer volume of builds the city has been dealing with - it's been taking much longer than anticipated. 

My feedback based on what I would do is hold the house. 

Andy Sirkin, based in San Francisco but supposedly has done some in Las Angeles. 

My name is Sonya Waites and if you have questions, I don’t mind answering them based on my own personal experience.

Hi @Wesley Peixoto - I’m an agent based in Fairfield County, and I’d love the opportunity to connect with you.

Short of that, you may target employees of Canada-based companies with a presence in KC (this is easy to find on LinkedIn).
