It also is helpful to have a California LLC in case you ever sell that property and move into another state so that you do not need to form a new LLC altogether with new operating agreement, just re-register in the new state as a new foreign LLC.

When we don't find success in a strategy we tend to move to another one. 

And we can move to that house to retire, it’s a good size for it, not high yearly cost as in Florida.  

(edit: the property can have up to 3 units built on it...house with attached separate apartment + unattached ADU)Of course, other people are telling me to park my cash in a high yield savings account and just chill LOL, but I'm not really comfortable with that either as an investment strategy.

@Neil LouisCongrats on the move to multifamily.

That solved, we can move onto peace in middle east and all other conflicts in the world. 

When we bought the home, we used a VA loan and then we had to PCS (move in the military).

I might just spend the extra buck per SF and move to an engineered hardwood product, now that I can't find the $.99 alure any more, the difference isn't as big.

If there's not much else "wrong" with the property (or if it's relatively new), you might choose to go ahead and pay a plumber to get it over with.Definitely use polybutylene pipes as a "negative" when negotiating the purchase price.With inflation, tradespeople retiring, and the growing population moving to the area, it might well be less expensive to have them switched out sooner rather than later. 

You can move out of your current and purchase your next property as a primary to get in with low down payment instead of having to put in 20-25% down.
