I would appreciate any information.I'm not sure how much should I trust the RE person, it's in his interest to sell me the place.

Refinanced after seasoning period with forced appreciation as well as more favorable comps once we arrived in the spring home buying season vs winter selling (when purchased) How did you add value to the deal?

Could you guide me on how to transition my career, the necessary documents I need to bring from the Philippines, and what steps I need to take to sell properties in California?

Low returns like pre covid numbers coupled with low price/high headache guests have scared people to sell.

I know it's hard to cash flow today, especially in the A neighborhoods, but would like to hear what you think.Thanks ground up. you can get a plot of land right now and put 60 units on, I can entitle land with that amount of money and 3x the value through entitlements and sell it shovel ready or bring it as equity so much value. condo entitlement or multifamily is what I'd recommend in miami Greenfield looks like the way to go on in expensive market .... if one can find the land. 

However, I'm getting conflicting information regarding the Probate process in CA, where all properties must go through the overbid process, and properties cannot sell for less than 90% of the appraised value. 

-Did I have to sell?

I had recently sold my house off a few months ago and regret selling.

However, they won't wait for me to sell my current home to use as a down payment on the second home.If I use the cash I've saved as the down payment on my new primary residence, can I take the proceeds from selling my current home and apply them to new construction or a mortgage on an investment property?

There are a lot of the old units that are built to last unlike the crap they sell today.
