Because I'm new to the community and specifically to house hacking, I have so many questions and would love to hear about how you all got started.

Orange County housing inventory is at all time historical lows. 

@Edwin Lopez House hack to start the portfolio in real estate since living in the property you can do low down payments. 

Typically 3 things sell houses/condos. 

And, are you house hacking already?

But they do exist! 

you might spend 60 or 90 or 120 days or longer before you see a dime.i'd start with a house hack instead.good luck

Very different answers to your question depending on the answer to this one.If for a career path, I would agree with @Michael K Gallagher and find a brokerage that is actively doing deals, has a property management division in house, and has brokers covering each of the key market segments - multi-family, retail, office, industrial and land.

I've already closed on the house and currently have an LLC in CT but have not moved the property over to the LLC yet because I wasn't sure if it makes better tax sense to move it under an LLC where I live (CA) or an LLC where the property is located (CT)... any help you can provide is much appreciated! 

I want to buy a new private home and use my current primary residence equity (plus some cash) to buy a new primary house cash and then sell the old one.So, I am looking for a HELOC with little to no closing costs, as I will retain the money only for as long as I am selling my old house after buying a new one.Any advice?
