Quote from @Robert Gunn: I would also be very interested in hearing student or JV experiences with Pete and his program.I stumbled upon him by chance and for fun (I've been investing in land for years) signed up for his "free" course, which he promises after he pitches his $499/mo software system (which is basically an overpriced CRM) and then after the first "Level" in the course, you are directed to a pay page to access the rest of the "free" course.  

Put down deposit, lease isn't signed. 

Signed into law in 2021, SB 9 is designed to address the housing crisis by allowing greater density in residential neighborhoods.

No one is going to come to your door stalking you, but feel free to pay a few grand a year to "hide" your identity that will be able to be found in 15 minutes or in a request from the tenant if they request ownership of the LLC or the operating agreement to understand who they are signing a lease with.

If you're living in it now, you'll probably be required to have a signed lease in place as well as proof that first month's rent/security deposit were collected in order to get a DSCR loan (they're business purpose loans and don't allow owner occupancy).

And I go over house rules, I can usually tell after that what’s up , plus get your money first , have them sign a STR contract if you want, good luck ! 

If you're going to work with contractors, collect rent from tenants, or try to bed the hot chick at the bar, you better learn to recognize warning signs and get out early. 

I have a good friend who has some great data on all the different neighborhoods - I am happy to share that with you.Also, if you don't have a lender already, I have some rockstars that I know like and trust.What sport do you play?

I was a student with these guys for 2 months, yeah, I actually signed up, Curtis sold the heck out of the program to me.

@Jeremy H Barton I would suggest taking a look at your cash flow before signing up for a HELOC on a brand new building.
