If anyone could layout some basic steps on how to do this it would be much appreciated thanks!

Lay out your master plan.

There is 0% chance a person who could lay out in such depth of detail a communist-squared action plan, is here on BP for ANY of the thing's BP stand's for, not a 1.

That is a delicate situation and will not be easy to navigate, but I think you already know what the right answer is.

In those buildings there is no way to include hookups given the layout of the units.

That provided a perfect layout of the different avenues I could take to invest money towards financial freedom.Though I'm far from a seasoned investor at the moment, Ive built up plenty of buying power and cash savings from work and a couple of deals I wholesaled.Right now I'm poised to flip two properties by the end of this year, networking with some great people in my area (MA).

I would love to lay out my own terms especially on whose name goes on the lease (all that live there) as I think there may also be a woman living there with him.

@Rhonda WilsonThey are not too nice - most of the items chosen were chosen due to quality and indestructability - (from hardwood cabinets with solid boxes (no mdf so much more prone to resist water damage), prehung doors with solid oak jambs to resist damage or if they were damaged they are repairable vs engineered wood most folks put in etc - and I bought all of it for very good prices, sometimes for the same or less than the poor quality products or just mere dollars more - hard woods much more resistant to damage except for my one cabinet door and I know how it broke - I actually hypothesized it may happen when I did the kitchen layout due to how a door opens but did not think I'd find anyone dumb enough to make it happen. 

It is a delicate thread we must navigate but please keep in mind that California has done better than Massachusetts at managing that thread.

Its a great strategy and it got us our first 3 properties, after which we were able to scale more traditionally to where we are today.My two cents: Don't buy a 3 bed 2 bath unless there's an opportunity to add bedrooms through finishing a basement, converting a garage, or an attic. 3-2s are the most common and popular layout for families, and they sell at a premium.
