Just got my white belt stripe yesterday so a picture with a black belt coach would be an honor! 

San Diego and the surrounding areas are VERY ADU friendly so there are properties with options to add one in the back that are really starting to pop there and could be an alternative option.Take it slow.

Have a salon with a water heater that was installed around three months ago, and the tenant has complained that it's having issues heating the water; I suspect it may be an electrical issue with the system. 

@Kristin Solbachjust to confirm... do you want to be an STR owner and operator?!

This is gonna be an eye opener for sure. 

There has to be an account in the middle for repairs, renovations, etc. and you want to know how that will be disbursed and if you need a workflow between you.If you decide to do it, just start small with an asset that is as close to can't lose as possible so you can fine-tune your collective process.

What that means is that if you win, they let you win and they didn't want the property of they bid you up.These are the basics, but I think you were way ahead knowing it's not ripe to be an acquisition pipeline.

With Tampa's strong rental market, house hacking can be an excellent way to start building wealth.Good luck!

That's why I am hesitant about installing security into the property since it'll be an added expense to upkeep.Any advice is much appreciated on how to proceed!

This might be an unfair perception of folks who open carry - but it is still a real concern, and one which is not going to help you.
