TIARV Park AND Self Storage~4 acres, commercial for $120K (google maps link)Pros: In city, city water & sewer nearby, city allows both rv park AND self storage in Commercial zone, ~$50K worth of timber on propertyCons: Neighbors nearby, traffic visibility not as good here, land needs to be logged/cleaned up - not a big deal reallySelf storage constructed probably out of shipping containers~3 acres, industrial for $135K (google maps link)Pros: clear flat land, higher traffic count between the coast and I5, seller will carry loanCons: zoning does not allow for RV Park, city services unavailable

Here you can test the waters with 3.%-5% down, have your own place, and then see if you want to continue investing (chances are you will:))

I have been connected with BP for the last couple years by just dipping my toes in the water occasionally, but this year I am looking to jump in! 

I'm used to multifamilies where each unit has its own water heater and furnace.  

We have a dozen or so properties there, that are without water indefinitely, perhaps as long as month.Of course, that's small change compared to the utter destruction and loss of life.  

I’m moving out of the house soon and will be living rent-free with my wife at my parents' place in the Bay Area due to some recent life changes.Here’s a breakdown of my situation:Location: Sacramento, CA (4 bed, 2 bath, recently renovated)Current mortgage payment: $3,940/month (including escrow)Mortgage balance: $475,000Current home value: $515,000 - $535,000 (based on comps)Rental estimate: Property management companies are quoting $2,600/month (with fridge/washer/dryer included), but some websites suggest it could go for up to $3,000/month.Planned budget:$540/month for capital expenditures and maintenance$100/month for lawn careTenant to cover utilities (gas, electricity, water)7.5% vacancy rateWe bought the house thinking it would be our forever home, but with our current situation, I’m trying to figure out the best long-term plan.

FEMA rental Assistance covers the cost of monthly rent and essential utilities, gas, electric, water, trash, and sewer.
