I was hoping for an opportunity to be able to work hard and have a vehicle to accelerate progress.

I know I should start from a goal and work backwards but it seems that there are many options that could work but it’s hard to find one that specifically speaks to me and impossible to know precisely how to achieve my goals in the most efficient manner.

The truth is, real estate is just the vehicle for the business, and people fall in love with it.

According to me, rent estimation should be taken as guidance instead of precisely calculated  because meanwhile you put offer, close and come to market to rent, that number could be different +/-.

These are huge numbers – to put it in perspective, according to the US Census, the City of Austin, TX has ~400K households.TakeawayThis phenomenon of capital flooding into a sector is especially notable if it is happening for the first time – which is what we are seeing in single family housing, particularly rentals.To effectively deploy billions of dollars into a sector for the first time, especially one as nuanced and fragmented as housing, new technologies and operating models must be invented and executed with expert precision.

It's hard to screen for this unless someone is outwardly a total Pigpen though- the ones I had issue with in my home had clean vehicles and apparently were just very lazy with their living space and/or thought that I would clean up after them like their mother...You may want to delegate lawn care and snow removal to a landscaping service so its one less thing for everyone to worry about.  

Murphy’s law if it can go wrong it will… not to mention the opportunity cost of money because flips can take a long time and there are many other investment vehicles out there with good returns for much less work and less risk.

From what I've learned over the weekend from David Green, you need to do a cash-out refinance, at 90% LTV.Because interests are so low historically this could be better than a HELOC.The way how I am getting started is by creating an LLC first, precisely because of what you stated in your introduction, I don't want to drag my personal business with my personal finances.

Real estate in my opinion/experience is the perfect vehicle for that mentality, yet most still find themselves "trapped" in the bigger/more/millions mindset, meaning wasting more precious time.  

What do you think is the best money making vehicle for Turo for the Bay Area CA ??
