Awesome work Carlos, glad to see other people with like minded ideas!

This can feel a bit tricky, but getting it right from the get-go can save you a ton of headaches later.

There is a significant upfront cost associated with this but I have calculated it will average 2.2 years per building to save the cost I’m currently paying for oil.

Saving money initially will allow you to purchase more units down the road.

Yes, you will pay for commissions (which are 100% negotiable)- I like the idea of approaching the agent for the new buy (if in the same area), who might give you a discount on the listing if you also buy from him or her.There are programs out there that help you BUY before selling, they will give you a 20% downpayment and money for repairs on your existing house- you'd have to use an Agent and them that is affiliated with them and they act as the straw man lender- check out Knock.com, Ribbon, Orchard, Homelight, etc- and there are others- I'm not sure which are available to you in California.In most states, homes are sold "As-IS" anyway), and all you have to do if you cannot make repairs is to properly DISCLOSE what you know isn't working, so that buyers can take that into consideration in ADVANCE of contract, in both their offer but also to save them surprises later on which could cause them to back out- if they know in advance and all is disclosed, there's less chance of that happening.

Most in your shoes want to move as quickly as possible and sometimes slowing down & being more deliberate will save you time and money in the long run.

If you are able to go onto the HOAs website and download their CCRs, you should be able to get a clear idea on what their rental policies are. 

Appreciate your response because I have an idea to look into the Beta site.Thanks again 

The total deal is $645k.Here is the deal:Here's the deal:I have 2 houses/properties I want to buy:Here's the idea--These properties are back to back.

At market is fine, and will usually be the case if it’s turnkey, 10-20k above market isn’t a good idea.
