I feel pretty free to tell someone when I think RE is not the greatest investment. 

Feel free to message me if you want to chat about it

Would recommend you read a couple books about BRRRR, that will give you the basics and then feel free to reach out.It remains a great strategy, but you have to manage your expectaions.

If I could find 100 doors and put together as a group, what do you feel the exit potential is on this? 

You can check tools like Niche, Roofstock, Zillow, or even just Google Maps can help you get a feel for neighborhoods and properties. 

I would need more info to really help, but feel free to reach out to me any time.

It just feels like I’ve been making a lot of short term sacrifices for long term gains and I have to be really diligent with money management. or I could also just try to borrow money for the renovation, and pay off the line of credit over time, but I feel like that really would limit me and if the stock market(my collateral) went down I could also see some trouble. 

I too live in Marin, and feel it is a solid long term market for apprecaition, and utilizing the power of principle reduction.When it comes to refinancing, figure out what the loan costs will be, then divide that buy the monthly savings with the new loan in order to determine how long you have to maintain that loan to break even. 

If you want to know more about the management companies I tried feel free to DM me.

I was just wondering if I should keep this tenant despite not quite meeting the 3X rent rule for her income if I bring the rents to market rent.
