I think that's because of fear, but more on that in a minute.Chris, when someone buys a lottery ticket for a dollar and wins $10,000,000 their ROI is 999,999,900% according to an ROI calculator I'm looking at (you'll have to forgive me for using a calculator, but I'm not a professional mathematician or whatever, so I'm using a tool to get the right answer).

Yes @Jay Hinrichs, I think that many in RE think or have the attitude that RE laws are like a speeding ticket, if you get caught.

Save some more this way you can make a downpayment and do capital and general improvements to get the duplex move in ready and almost maintenance free with big ticket items. 

I already have a ticket 

If I found myself in LA and had enough cash, Id buy a plane ticket somewhere else😂

It's a big ticket item that can bite you a few ways if you don't consider and budget for it correctly.

There is no golden ticket.

I took the approach to learn some skills, DIY, and hire contractors for big ticket items.

There may be some big ticket items that need upgrades in there that you can’t see until you open up the walls.
