I'm anti IKEA but some people are all about it.

When you get flooring there's people sitting at the computers in that specific area, so that's usually where you make large orders.

@Amani Abdel-Dayem  wholesaling seems to be happening less, people want top dollar so most will sell on the MLS. 

I had many people help me in my journey and I still ask for help :)

What most people do in your scenario, is they sell the home and purchase a 2-4 unit.

It seems that a lot of people dump on Garfield Park but I've always loved the area.

@Tip MallickI think there is an international forum but not that many people invest internationally here and probably even less in Thailand anyway.It depends on your objectives (we all have different ones) but didn't you already answer your own question?

When people say I am going to do the renovations myself, they usually mean doing everything without proper permits and then they get screwed when they go to sell.If you can find a house hack where the side you will live in needs cosmetic, direct replacement (no permits) work, that would be ideal because you can do both by living in and soft-flipping your side while getting income on the other.

There is a TON of need to long term rentals in Tahoe, but a lot of people here can't afford really expensive rentals.
