We need to drastically cut rates to entice buyers, it's the start of the fall.

I would definitely be calling Airbnb on that for sure.I brought up a recent bad experience with some NFL players lighting off fireworks and setting the house and their car on fire and then blaming it on the neighbors even though we have a ring doorbell there (+ neighbors ring doorbells!).

So, if the lien does not sell in Year 1, and you buy Year 1 and Year 2 liens in the Year 2 auction, then the 4 years starts on the date of the Year 2 auction.  

Then you can start dabbling into buying rentals or flips.

So that is not even the closing date.I start to think of moving away from this deal but don't know if that's even possible.

Is it not smart to start in California because of this?

But the situation did get me to start thinking on how to properly analyze a small multifamily house.I've only invested in SFRs so I'm a little green when it comes to properly analyzing a duplex.

I bought my first property back in 2020 it turned into a "house hack" since I wanted to start investing in real estate.

For house hacking I’d maybe start at the more pricier markets or fringe markets where you can get something beat up, fix and flip and sell for higher.

Starting with a single-family rental (SFR) property is a practical approach.
