Real estate is a long term game once you understand that it gets easier my friend .

I have done a handful of flips using cash, partnering with friends, and making it work. 

there was a follow up post where someone got a loan from them but for realistic rates  8% or so and few points.. under 6% private / hard money simply does not exist unless its a family friends type situation. that bank rates or lower right now for new construction or fix flip  

100% for 6 months is a lot of money.c) I and friends have quite a few Real Estate contacts in California.

If each tenant pays you a security deposit (ex. $2,200 and $1,800), couldn't you just put the $4k into a seperate bank of america checking account and not touch it?

You could even consider a condo with an established HOA that’s STR-friendly—it can simplify maintenance and management.A Few Other Things to Note: Documentation is everything.

I think one of the biggest analysis paralysis thoughts is on landlord- or tenant-friendly areas.
