Our family is currently in another country and is moving to Los Angeles Ca in June~July.

@Vincent Donato how will all the "dry or dated" issues affect your alleged current value?

Hello all, my wife and I have been in our current home for about 15 years.

Since the start of the year, I've read a handful of BP books:- Rental Property Investing (Brandon Turner)- How to Invest in Real Estate (Brandon Turner/Josh Dorkin)- Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down (Brandon Turner)- BRRRR (David Greene)- Multifamily Millionaire Volume 1 (Brandon Turner/Brian Murray)- Start with Strategy (Dave Meyer), currently readingI was thinking of using the equity to BRRRR small multifamily properties and combine some concepts from both the BRRRR and Multifamily Millionaire books (specifically making cash offers via HELOC to secure distressed properties, ideally vacant to set market rents).

@Devin Basile Current LLC's should not be part of this. 

If you are open to discussing the possibility of working together, I would welcome the chance to learn more about your approach and see if there might be a good fit.If you prefer not to take on investment partners or if your current model doesn't align with my goals, I completely understand.

I typed in variations of "rent increase, proposed legislation for 2024 for San Francisco" in Google and don't see anything saying a landlord can't increase a property to market rent on a new tenant after the previous tenant moves out.I talked to 2 PM companies in S.F. and they both said I could rent out a SFH at market rate rent if my current tenant moves out (family member who is getting a deal).

I'm trying to be sensitive towards the other unit at the duplex paying the market price currently and what it looks like renewing with them.

I've decided, starting off, that I'd like to try renting apartments in my current market (Jacksonville, Florida) then furnishing them and offering them to traveling professionals on AirBNB and/or furnished finder. 

An example like this is https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1377-14th-Ave-San-Francis...Another example is https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1949-23rd-Ave-San-Francis...This house was sold for $1.1M (way under current SF market), simply because there is an protected tenant inside.Just want to pick up everyone's brain and experience here.
