I highly recommend you check out eXp Realty, as we have a value proposition no other broker can match.  

It is possible with accessory unit but not part of the main structure.The planning department will not approve your plans.3ft set back is grandfathered and anything new will need to have 5ft.Some cities will allow you to match the 3ft setback.

I don't have the old files for this RealCrowd offering but it would be interesting to see if what Inland Pacific presented or the seller provided info matches what the seller reported to their bank.  

When you use the @ symbol it alerts someone to go back and check the post.  

@Tyler RodgersType the @symbol and then 3 letters of their name.

Unless you have an existing relationship and very LONG term track record.. this is virtually impossible to find .your best bet is an EQUITY partner.. to match up to the 70% LTV or LTC HML your going to get to secure the asset.DO not GET SUCKED into those that will tell you they can do it  just need to send them a few bucks up front.. those are pump and dump scammers.. which are very prevalent on BP when you ask for money.DOHARDMONEY in Utah will do 100% but they charge 3 to 4k up front.. and then a due diligence fee etc etc.. with NO gurantee they will fund your deal.. mixed reviews on them but I have heard they acutally can close a deal.

peel and stick works well if the seals are worn. or try to match the old seals too.

Make sure their drivers licences match the info they are providing regarding address etc.

Then based on that and your financial situation, look for properties that matches these conditions.3) Unless you are experienced in larger MF I would stay away from them at first.

@Michael Anderson, it's funny your story almost exactly matches mine...I'm writing this response on my lunch break of my software job, but am also looking to get more involved in REI without completely giving up the security of my day job.
