Shared dirt driveway with alley access for the second unit and metal gates for both. 

Hi @Ryan Rudy, I'm going to come out of the gate here with a different angle:  be careful! 

For what it’s worth, I believe the book was on Bill Gates’ list of books to read for 2017 or maybe 2018.

The land is zoned rural for 2 acre lots,  but the dev is trying to have it up-zoned for gated mcmansions.

If so, you shouldn't have a problem finding a bank to finance that as you probably will have a lot of equity right out the gate.

I live in Dana point because I was raised near by (laguna hills), and because of the weather, beauty, and most importantly, waves. 

Just got back from the IMN Non Performing Loan conference at Dana Point.

@Sean Dulcio - I dove into duplexes right out of the gates putting 20% down and not living on one side  but renting out both sides - I wanted until I was 25 though, you have time on your side by jumping in at 19.  

I the worst thing you can do is make a bad deal right out of the gate because you weren’t educated enough on how the math works
