Even if you just do it in the short term, then maybe you'd save 10% there and be efficient enough to cut your vacancy % down to 5?

because I always moved to have a short commute.🥰 If I had unlimited capital to invest in LA I would invest in older multifamily buildings in Hollywood/WeHo along Franklin Ave, Hollywood Blvd, or Fountain Ave between La Brea and La Cienega.

Proper timing was key for this deal understanding the Market and the sellers position in the market and in the deal, it played out great and we where able to make some profits on the investments before even receiving the first rent check.

@Jose RamirezHELOC's are very hard to come by for investment properties, they are also short term loans that are typically interest only with a balloon payment at the end.

Long story short, if you do this, buy in great locations, hold long term, and make sure that you have plenty of reserves to weather the storm.

There are multiple options depending on your end goal, capital position, long term/short term strategy etc.. 

Hard money is sort of a last resort, that's typically meant to be a short-term solution and will carry a higher rate and/or fees compared to most other options. 

(just like a 2nd but shows up as one loan that has two payments each month) You do these when the seller has a lot of equity and will do a “carry back” instead of requiring cash at closing.

I would try to address it as amicably as possible before doing anything that might turn into a war. both of you can always build a higher fence and mount the cameras on a higher pole. have a conversation with him about your Airbnb, is he doing this simply for security, or does he have an issue with you renting your place out short term?

I firmly believe that things are definitely changing in terms of a technological and media landscape - if you are able to be consistent and quality in terms of short form video social media digital marketing - I think this is the best path forward to really carve out some success
