Is this normal?

A normally overlooked aspect of construction/development is not comparing the opportunity cost of getting into another property in less time and less money out the gate, so keep that in mind.

We normally have a few guest speakers, food and a ton of smart investors to network with.

@Jennifer Manzella SavvaSTR's do have some unique differences from their LTR counterpart.There are unique tax laws if you provide substantial services.STR's are normally furnished by the owner which may be eligible for immediate write-off / bonus depreciation.

Although many normally in-person groups are temporarily virtual, there are definitely still a lot of meetings out there.

When I spoke with them first time, they say it will take 1-2 weeks but it is already passed 1week and we haven't start any minor fix for the rent.I am not sure if it is normal.

I don't think in a normal state they would have a chance....but as you said, you're in Cali.

Finished basements add value but approximately what it costs to finish them unless they are just like upstairs rooms with lots of natural light and doorways, normal ceiling heights, and you can add baths or bedrooms.

Thats an example of finding a smart way to increase your cashflow, ROI, etc. faster than just by normal appreciation or doing the obvious stuff like putting in vanities.
