Overall it sounds like a buy and hold. 

If you want to find people who will try to help you lose your money, telling them how much money you have and where you will be is a good way to start.You are limiting yourself way too much by focusing on LA, but with $2 million to burn you could likely find some good cash flow if you are paying cash, but you don't sound like the management type just from this.

It sounds like you personally are focused on an urban infill strategy which maximizes density and price per square foot rent.

I just paid 7k to upgrade to 200A and a complete rewire on a 2 bedroom house about 1000 sq ft.

Quote from @Darnell Fenderson: Hi everyone, I am a relatively new investor looking to complete my first BRRR in the Cleveland, Ohio area. 

Nor will a title company provide a complete loan package.Your friend needs a lending attorney to prepare a set of loan documents.

We are shut down for a bit as we complete a pool construction project but expect to continue with the one we tried, and probably the other one too.

Sounds like you would still need a conventional loan on top of that to bridge the difference, but it could provide down payment funds. 

Both of them are by the bedroom and this new one I just completed a master bedroom build added on to the back of the house with a private entrance for myself so I’m currently renting out the other 3 beds.Which cost me thousands more than I expected due to contractors not performing like I had expected etc etc.

and unfortunately, with rates and prices high, it has just gotten very, very tough to cash flow on long term rentals.i browsed a few other threads you started and it sounds like you already own your primary residence and are looking to get started in investing.
