I have been seriously looking into real estate and I am by no means tied down to this city and I was looking for some advice on the best avenue to take for my first purchase.

buying a random property on Zillow and making light cosmetic upgrades will not cut it in today's market.happy to answer any questions you have.

I strongly  encourage to share this information  and write an email and letter to as many state representatives and the governor to veto this bill or reverse  it.AB 2424 (Schiavo) lender does not benefit they only get what they are owed including all fee's etc.. benefit will be next in line and or the owner who lost it.. this will also cut down on the collusion that takes place at trustee sales.

The would mean you are now spending $400/mo on your housing cutting your monthly expenses by $600 or adding $600 to your income each month not to mention tax benefits and appreciation.I think once you have a house hack, you look into buying a value-add property and BRRRRing it.

This is why installers usually use "Turn Boards" (smaller cuts of material to space out the butt jojts of thr material".

That doesn't cut it for me.
