Wanting this money to grow, and possibly create my job potentially.What would you do with $135k?

@Jeremy D.2nd kitchen and you would need an ADU license, and of course needs to meet the adu requirements.An adu is not multifamily, so yeah cant have the 2 parts rented seperatly when you leave.Whats unclear as I dont think its adressed in the regulations, is if you have an ADU, would 5 persons be the total property limit.

If you don't have the funds to provide proof, get a hard money lender to issue one for the property you are offering.

If you are considering to invest in other cities for long term rentals, I personally suggest looking into the Columbus OH market.

you can always do short term, might get more money that way but it will be a little more work with the clean ups. doesn’t hurt to try!

Why are the sellers selling a turn key property if they were making good money?

An all-cash (or hard money plus cash) offer definitely helps as well.Good luck!

I would personally recommend going the quadplex route, if you can.

I am also considering investing and helping a local developer raise money for future projects and would just love to get plugged in to the local scene in general. 

Other than a website at $150 a title search pop, what can I do to make sure I don't buy a tax sale where I'm shelling out money to pay for unforeseen lien?
