I found a duplex that currently cash flows very well even with today's rates. 

I'm well versed in both so let me know if I can ever help you. 

These 2 ways will normally cost you the least in upfront costs, and some will finance the rehab costs as well.2.

If I'm in your shoes, I would use this as an opportunity to network with other brokers in the office as well as attend local meetups to get a feel for who the movers and shakers are. 

Crosby as well (from what I have read).Prices are still quite high so you have to buy right and in the right area in order to stay profitable.

Happy to chat about BRRRRs with you but I would also suggest looking into house hacking as well. 

Looking at my first property and there is a severely intense odor in the basement (concrete) and some slight orders on the other levels of the house as well (hardwood floors and carpet).

Also, I'm living in Redondo as well, and working in Old Town Torrance during the week. 

While the best inspector may cost $200 more upfront it’s well worth the money to KNOW what your problems are.

The Fair Housing Act may not apply to the following types of housing in some cases:Owner-occupied buildings with no more than four units,Single-family housing sold or rented without the use of a broker, andHousing operated by organizations and private clubs that limit occupancy to members.Again, talk to HUD and see if you are exempt, then you can put this entire issue to bed.
