So we submitted our Title24 to the city on May12th by email.They responded saying the system was generating a target date of about 3 weeks out for reviews.understandably due to COVID-19 the 3wks have come and gone and no response from the city.Just wondering if anyone has any actual experience on how long the city is currently taking to approve permits.I'm guessing it'll take 2-3mths?

I also look at what the current cash flow and return the property will generate and what opportunities I have for increasing both. 

I think it will take a generation or two for telecommuting to take hold over a traditional office environment. 

The real problem though is that between 2005 and 2012 a who generation of investors who knew 1031 were wiped out. 

@Mike Imbriglio Craigslist is pretty bottom of the barrel as far as lead generation these days.

Our site generates leads for them. 

I don't really need to  because the business still generates ample money to pay them and I have some extra personal money (a bank account with 7 million in profits I've made) to keep paying them. 

Rental property investing is a wealth generator not a get rich quick generator.

I laugh and say no , since there is no toilet , kitchen and the plumping is disconnected and the electric is off  ( I am using a generator) .As the cops pull up in she shoves me . ( bad move cop sees this ) .

The plan remains the same now as it did years ago - generate revenue from the W-2 job, use the capital to support our LLC properties should we see the need for repairs or defaults occur on rental payments, use the capital to find deals as they occur, and avoid becoming over leveraged.
