That being said you do have one risky strategy you can try that I will describe below.There are two relevant orders, to evictions and one that has to do with price gouging.The most relevant to you at this time is Emergency Executive Order 20-79; Rescinding Emergency Executive Orders 20-14 and 20-73. 

That way I’m not using a term I can’t use but also appropriately describing the unit.

more velocity of money the faster your wealth can build. try and find a balance of long term buy and holds for passive income down the road but you can also use real estatse as a tool to make more money ie flipping wholesaling or brrr as described above  to make more money to buy more buy and hold. check out@thachnguyen on instagram that guy kills doing that buy haveing very specific criteria to what do do with a property. 

What steps were involved in doing it? What phone number did you call to reach the city? What hurdles did you jump through? How long did it take?

I'm definitely looking into doing what you've described in the future.

@Taylor ThompsonThe “and mortgage paydown” portion significantly changes your described plan in a positive way.

How are you describing the project to them?

Describe the seller financing

And @Brett Nigro it warms my heart to hear you describe these dusty accounting tidbits you've  learned as "cool things" :). 

(I did it today for a woman in California, who didn’t understand passive vs active income) The only reason I am speaking in “general” or “simplistic” terms here (as you described them) is because I don’t know all the information.
