I currently owe a mixed use property which has a commercial on the first floor and two residential units on the upper floors, i live in one of residential unit so that would consider an owner occupied property.

@Benjamin Stacey so we utilized a HELOC to get into our first STR deal (different than your situation, but I can relate).

Firstly, it's important to point out that Pismo Beach, like many other California towns, has imposed stricter regulations on STRs in recent times.The city has drawn a distinction between three types of authorized 'Less Than 30-Day Rentals,' specifically a "Short Term Rental," a "Vacation Rental," and a "Homestay Rental."

First question would be do you have money just in case or are you leveraging everything?

Well identifying your goal is the first step.

Hello Everyone,I'm a first-time investor based out of LA who is interested in doing a BRRRR out of state.

Signed lease and set up payment with Zillow rental portal, first got blocked yesterday, then my claim shows resolved while it shows my account is now disabled instead.

I will be leasing a commercial property for the first time, it is a small retail space in Northern California.

I would first read several books on property management (Brandon Turner from Bigger Pockets has one of the best!)

- Why does it cost more per sq ft to paint a Class A property versus a Class C property?
