i do think it's still possible for the small investor to 'invest' in CA by house hacking. 

I have a guest house that my sister is currently occupying but will be moving out in the next few months.

One of the most valuable strategies for flipping houses is using OPM (Other People's Money).

Hi BP family,This is my first time dealing with this issue and it was a good lesson to learn how important to buy house insurance. 

From there you'll need to determine Debt Service (if it's a financed deal) and Capital Expenses, to then calculate Cash Flow.The Cash-on-Cash Return (CoCR) will just be Cash Flow divided by the All-In Investment (Purchase Price + Renovations + Closing Costs + Wholesale Fee).If you're wholesaling these deals, I recommend you aim to offer your buyers a Cash Flow of no less than $250/mo and a CoCR of 10% or higher.

House is rented out regularly but also has a 2nd homesite that has a septic installed & perked for 2 Bed.

I am looking to house hack, but I am having issues finding the right markets in Northern California that have good population growth or at least a market that has a steady stream of tenants.

Renovation docs on short-seasoned cash-outs?

I’m coming to the end of a renovation on my newest property and just looking for some outside insight.

Vet that is interested in house hacking my way up to apartment complexes and I am considering Houston as a location for that purpose.
