Meaning, if you have a dirty property with holes in the walls....expect the tenant you get to believe that is ok.

Another one for Vanguard here, if you're looking at Wall Street type of investments.

I purchased a property in Southern CA I plan house hack.So the obvious choice is to seal off the walls and just create a "studio."

That is, aside from taxes and insurance, what are your numbers for vacancy, maintenance, cap ex/reserves, waste management, etc.?

You can waste a lot of time sorting issues out.

Many folks are looking for less risk and volatility than Wall Street can offer, but don't know it's out there or how to access it.

And a lot of the house you usually cant see behind the walls prior to purchase.

I am going insane trying to get a contractor in here to build a wall for me so that I can move my GF and I in but it seems like no contractor anywhere is able to come on a weekend haha. 

Things we added to the property included: solar, laminate flooring indoor paint, landscaping, retaining wall, deck, man shed, interior fixtures and boom!
