So sorry to hear that you're going thru this. 

Thanks for this!

For this project, that would mean targeting land in the $1.5 million range.

There is a better forum for this under Real Estate Strategies called Buying & Selling Small Businesses.

I’m also wondering if there are any wholesalers who focus in this area / NorCal? 

By the way, the tenant should be charged for this as part of "cleaning and repairs." 

Oh wow, I didn't know anything about this.

This type of property has the chance to cashflow, even highly leveraged, in a market where cashflowing properties are quite difficult to find.Could house hacking a property like this work while I am going to school? 

Quote from @Alex Dixon: Ah great question - I had pulled this together to showcase some of the similar tools that sit within the same "capability".

Otherwise many many many agents spend a lot of time and effort finding property and writing contracts only to find that the funds can't be transferred, or they don't have immediate access to the funds, or they need some kind of approval from 3-4-5th parties, or there are exchange restrictions, or 9000 other excuses.You probably need to find them a commercial broker who can handle whatever kind of investment they want to make.
