I have been doing this since the mid 80s  over 3500.00 transactions and If I can do it you can do it :) "If I can do it you can do it :)"Haha, this is exactly my problem in life... if other people can pull off out-of-state investing in class C neighborhoods, maybe I can too? 

Do that every 2+ years, sell tax free, repeat, and you can be set for life ("live in flips"). 

Their videos, webinars and web content have been a huge help in presenting what the concept of shared ownership looks like in real life.  

Using a 21 year life to maturity for the Teak.  

I talked to numerous California investors in real life and phone/Zoom calls who have lost money in far away OOS markets, mostly Midwest markets (e.g. repairs, capital expenses, bad tenants, properties vandalized while under renovation, evicted tenant stole all the appliances, property managers with high fees or overcharging for repairs).

Looking forward to learning from you all and of course becoming a millionaire real estate mogul and eventually President of the Universe.Welcome Chris: I’ve been a landlord for over 25 years now and I know some good local resources I use to make life easier too! 

I'm with you...I'm waaaaay over all of the "10 tricks" "10 life hacks" "10 best...." articles out there.

You can give notice to one of the tenants, then move in and rent out rooms to further cut your living expenses.Yes, something I've considered but does require me to move from CA to TN, so big life change. 

If you're considering just "winging it" please watch Pacific Heights starring Michael Keaton so you can get an idea of what life will be like inside the same building as rent control tenants whose rent control you are trying to terminate.

I think it is human nature to feel like we need to get the best deal with the best/highest "immediate return".
