In my experience, tenants only change in a negative way if a major event happens in their life (lost job, death of a family member, etc..), or if something is dealt with unfairly regarding their home.

In fact, over 50% of the people I speak to are first timers, who have done deals with HML, and succeeded.  

What I can say is that flat lots are in demand by the builders so those neighborhoods are likely to have the shortest construction cycle, comparatively speaking.

If you don't, it will negatively affect your credit score again.  

I'm speaking as a beginner but couldn't feel more confident in the approach of building initial wealth through frugality.

I've since bought a fourth and really like the business, mainly because I haven't had any negative cash flow property yet and they all start to have positive cash flow within two years. 

Speaking for myself, I could do way better just taking the cash, paying the tax and buying great deals over time, than having to jump through the 1031 hoops, figure out the difference of paying the tax vs cost to defer, you may be surprised how much the 1031 will cost if you are buying several properties. also dont know how Cali works, but the tax rate may be lower depending how long you have owned/lived in the condo, and how you file taxes for it.  

Do some research about housing for individuals with disabilities and hold onto your hat...there is a world of opportunity...and you having a disability yourself speaks volumes.

@Ariel LeeI don't want to be a negative nancy, but I wanted to share our experience.

We definitely won't do anything until we speak with a CPA on the matter.
