I haven't seen the inside, but who would sell a $1M property without a single interior photo (This screams it probably couldn't pass any safety codes). 

I've spent an entire year remodeling the interior, every weekend, about 10 - 16 hours per weekend for an entire year! 

I need to see it in person first but with what looks like small exterior renovation and probably some interior this could generate great cashflow.

Already having to evacuate for one tsunami, and $400 for a hollow interior door on island scared us off. 

I spent that on an 816 SF house that only needed interior cosmetics, the exterior and mechanicals were all in good shape.I think you need to see the house and get much tighter rehab costs and a much closer ARV.

You get paid rent per sq ft for interior space and then patio space if it is written into the lease but parking lot is dead space.

But learning everything about everything is impossible because you will be all over the map, being pulled in a million of different directions.I've heard someone veteran in Interior Design business say "niche is rich and broad is broke" and I believe this may be true to REI.   

My goal is to replace my current income with income from investment properties within the next 10 years.I am a licensed Interior Designer and, while I currently work on commercial spaces, I have experience in designing multi family units (finishes and layout) that I would love to put to use.If you're an investor in the Bay area, I would love to buy you a cup of coffee in exchange for any tips or suggestions on getting started.

I like to know the exterior condition, interior conditions, and the tenants of my properties.
