Hi @Brandy Morineau - I think it comes down to a few things:- the interest rates you are paying on your various loans- the return you can get on your next investment - your comfort level with being leveraged and speculating on appreciation vs. paying down some debt before your next investment and being prepared for the next downturn- where you can get the greatest tax advantages I have refinanced my primary home in San Francisco twice and used the cash-out as a down payment on two San Fran investment properties.

And I think the Super Bowl will act as a stimulus in attracting more people and development to the city, and of course it would same thing with Amazon, but yes, this is still pure speculation. 

For projects that are Rehabs or Fix & Flips, our team will benefit from the Construction Snapshots, increasing our buying power & Lender Leverage by having well-documented proof of success & properties at our fingertips.All for the cost of one media package, btw.Here is a sample of how our Virtual Tours can utilize "TAGS" to enhance a tour with additional information: https://youriguide.com/vUNIVIM8Z402D1/To the user of "Account Closed", I would safely speculate that being cheap has likely induced whatever karma you had comming. 

(Spoiler: It's speculation, not investment). 

This is all speculation but I cannot ignore the data.  

California is not the market for cash flow, it is the market for appreciation which is speculation (gambling).

And like I said I am conservative, I don't want to speculate on appreciation, until I know that it won't be the factor that makes or breaks the deal. 

I think you could learn from those.As I recall, a couple GC's chimed in and were against it....just agree to a price for my work....don't call me your "partner".If you're on the hook for all the financing, can't you be the "speculator" yourself?

If you are ready to bite the bullet and speculate appreciation then it may work.

Investing in California is speculative and doesn’t have positive cash flow so I didn’t have choice but invest OOS.Feel free to ask me questions on the forum or PM me and would try to help out.
