I’ve been investing in real estate for over a decade, but never really gotten to the point of scale.

Been in IT for 20 years, looking to put my skills to work to build up my retirement.Chris Welcome to BiggerPockets!

It’s a beautiful custom home, one of the nicest in a so-so Oakland neighborhood ("biggest house in not the best area").Here’s the context:- Bought in 2014 for $590k, appraised in 2022 for $1.2m.- Located in a C- to B neighborhood—close to amenities and mostly safe but not for everyone.- Converted to a rental in 2024; initially rented for $4,750/month, but tenants moved out, and the soft Bay Area rental market has made filling it challenging.

Feel free to PM me for details if you'd like Sorry Sergey but I must've been half asleep..... 

It is true that you'll probably only be responsible for paying off the interest for the first ten years. 

Still, it makes sense because oftentimes some of the rents have never been raised for years, and those NW side neighborhoods have increased rent dramatically! 

As for the living trust, I'm assuming you mean to have the LLC within the trust to avoid probate?

Hello,I have a potential tenant that is part of a Community Living Program and I am looking for other peoples experiences dealing with these types of tenants.So the tenant had a traumatic injury and now their insurance pays out a set amount each month to cover their living expenses.

Would love to meet up sometime to chat.Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

@Brady PretzlaffI think you should focus on properties close to campus with multiple bedrooms, adequate bathrooms, and parking for renting a room in a college town like near MSU.
