@Ilir Livadhi I think you are referring to property wholessalers telling you how much the rehab will be - and as you see, their numbers are often not based on reality.

Choosing between a single-family home and a duplex is a classic real estate investor dilemma.

Having some prior experience with a flip and a BRRRR locally will definitely come in handy.As someone who’s also from the Bay Area and has done rehabs on my long-term rentals, I wanted to share a bit from my own experience.

well thank you for your service and as I said best of luck. !!!

I found what seemed to be a great property with a house for an STR and other space that I could expand for camping/RV sites and a barn that could be converted into a venue for events. 

I'm looking for something in between a turnkey and a fixer upper.

I thought he was super smart and a straight shooter. 

We would all love to have that note that has 5 years of perfect payments, 800+ credit score and a 20-25% down payment. 

I just acquired one from a PM where they were charging a tenant a resident benefit package and a building protection plan.  

Buy in a market not too far away, 30 to 1 hr from a decent city center where values are reasonable and a city push out with help your rent and appreciation.
