Buying cash will make the purchase process much easier.

A 203b loan would be for a property that is fully fixed up, so it may be easier to run the numbers, but a 203k loan would be for a property in need of renovation.

I find they are easier to come to terms quickly.

I'd prefer to buy just one of these duplexes to start out because it would be easier to obtain financially.

This route might be easier and less stressful.Thanks!

I am thinking it would be a benifit to already have the property in a LLC for asset protection and would make closing easier.

But I think as long as it’s clean and livable, it’s a go.

I've been looking into tax deed investing in California and am trying to figure out if land is easier to flip than property or if they both have the same issues with the title needing litigation or special services to sell for retail on the market.  

Once you've done the first one or two, they become much easier.

For example one client had roughly $17,000 in receipts over 7 months but because of the time and being let down by here cleaning company she decided to rent for the remainder of the year at $1,500/mo.
