Both for now but I feel very close to just focusing on my firm.

I still flip and network in SJ, personally I'd want to have a experienced real estate attorney for an eviction.

Personally Sept 1st and Oct 1st are the same in my market.

It requires the right person and some good mentoring, training and oversight.   

My cabin has been consistently booking for the weekends since we launched a couple months ago with the average person booking 2 days in advance.

Shoot me a dm if you feel I can be of any service.

Personally, I like to essentially do a move in inspection.

I don't feel obligated to return it to her.

Personally I scan the local MLS each night in my target neighborhoods to be familiar with any new properties that may come on the market that I might be interested in.

You could do that for 3-5% down.. live in it for a year to meet typical requirements for use… then move into a new house, and ‘voila’ - you bought your second (multi-family) rental for 3-5% down instead of 20-25%.It is entirely possible though that you will face debt to income issues on your first rental if your lender wants to see a year or twos worth of rental history before counting your rental income to offset your debt payments…so beware of that.Otherwise you may have to look at creative financing… maybe bringing in a money person where it was a short term investment for them, like “I’ll give you 8% on your money (versus the 4-5,% you could earn from the bank CD) if you will partner with me on this purchase.”
