Hi I have my own business and getting my first Airbnb in CA.

Your income definitely shows you could do a new build, but if you are a first-time builder, finding land, construction costs, and managing a new build will be way out of your zone of genius, especially if you both work busy jobs.To get value add, you can look for a multi that has really good space/bones, but needs upgrading so you can live in a really nice place and create a second nice space for rent/family.

It is in a good area next to businesses and breweries/shopping centers/etc in a busy town.

People thing they earn their money just by taking pictures and opening doors for showings, but helping buyers and sellers understand and navigate issues like this is where a good agent REALLY EARNS their money. 

The greatest secret to business is learning how to be an exceptional Operator.

Happy almost Summer BP Community,I'm reaching out to tap into the collective wisdom of the community as I look to expand and accelerate my rental business using the BRRRR strategy.I currently focus on buy-and-hold investments in small multifamily properties (2-4 units).

As everyone else said, get out of the business if you can't close yourself when you can't find a buyer on any deal.

That allows you to submit claims that happened before the business shut down but were not reported to you until after.  

Above 5+ units is possible but more challenging and rates are where you would expect them..50-65%LTV will be common for higher plex units, a common workarounds is if they have a US based family member or business partner with an LLC..Some investors or lenders have specific countries of origin that are restricted or even prohibited, check with your mortgage professional. 

For anonymity, could i use a company like zen business to be my registered agent and thus maintain anonymity?
