How do you typically evaluate LTV ratios when deciding on funding, and do you have a specific comfort zone in terms of percentage or property type that you prefer to stay within?

I bought a 4-unit property in August ( 2 months ago ), it was my first property, and I inherited a section 8 tenant.

Hi everyone, My name is Ray Scirrotto, I am a 28 year old aspiring real estate investor hoping to land my first investment property soon. 

Using a HELOC as a down payment is 100% financing on a property.

In renting this property, I've been able to amass a nice database of potential renters in the area. 

No property to back the loan.

It might help to connect with local property managers who handle STRs to get a sense of what types of properties perform best. 

Would like to owner occupy a property again for 1-2 years.

The prospect primary job is in apartment property management, but that job doesn't cover our 3.5x income requirement, the prospect has picked up 2 additional jobs that were really recent like this month and last month and one of them is the one I'm currently talking here about.

Assembly Bill 1771, also known as the California Housing Speculation Act, aims to change real estate tax policy to discourage investors from quickly reselling properties like single-family homes.Under the proposed bill, an additional 25% tax would be imposed on the gain from the sale of a qualified asset (including homes) within three years of the previous sale.The tax reduction is dependent on the number of years passed since the initial purchase of the qualified asset, ranging from a 20% reduction for sales occurring between 3.01 to 4 years to a 100% reduction for sales occurring more than seven years after the initial purchase.The revenues generated by this tax increase would be deposited into the Speculation Recapture Community Reinvestment Fund, which aims to support affordable housing, local governments, schools, and infrastructure projects.The bill is introduced by Assembly Member Ward, and the proposed tax changes would take effect from January 1, 2023.Assembly Member Ward argues that short-term investors in the market, including fix and flip investors, contribute to rising housing prices, limiting opportunities for Californians to purchase homes.While the bill may discourage short-term speculative transactions, it is worth noting that California's tax laws still provide certain advantages for investors, including unlimited tax write-offs and depreciation benefits.The bill is subject to legislative approval, and Assembly Member Ward will speak publicly about the bill at the San Diego County Administration Center on a specified date.Please note that this is a simplified summary of the bill and its potential impact on fix and flip investors.
