Hi Tobe,Unfortunately no, my main area of focus is in the seacoast, so I am wholly unfamiliar with the situation in the western half of the state. 

I say that very sparingly because the comps (within 2 miles) I have pulled are nowhere near the quality of work that we are doing on this property.  

Hi @Miles Stanley, FNMA allows cash-out refi when you have up to 4 financed properties...

My mother is an agent in SB; she enjoys working with investors a lot, she also knows construction fairly well, and really goes the extra mile. 

We are preparing to put a tiny house on the market in the Houston area that is about 20 miles from the location of Super Bowl 51.  

@Sam LiuI literally had the exact same thing happen to me about a year and a half ago.

But as far as finding a mentor that is really half the battle that itself is huge!

Half were fine with it, fine were against it.

SoCal is not a place for cashflow unless you hold a very long time and even then....i live down the hill from you and invest in AZ, KC and Indy for that reason.your best chance in SoCal would be to buy a dumpy duplex to live in and rent out one half. that would allow you to build up sweat equity as you would fix up your half then switch sides and repeat. you could raise rents and likely sell for good profit (depending on market of course) upon exit....or just use increased rent to have a nicer unit paid down fastergood luck
