@Bjorn AhlbladWe actually are in the market for a new accountant (ours retired and we don’t love the person he has transitioned clients to).

Good luck.Thank you for the welcome, same to all the others here. 100% that the next step is moving into evaluating and smoothing out my process of finding deals and narrowing down.

If you also run a smooth transaction and close in a respectable time without causing a lot of drama, they will absolutely remember you and eventually will start sending you deals and say "hey, you want this note for $20k".You are far better off having a handful of sellers that you buy from periodically then a large list of sellers you never buy from. 

Hello All,
I am considering purchasing a home (home A) with a FHA loan to avail of all the benefits that a FHA loan has to offer and then move on to another property (home B) and do the same again with the FHA loan.

Pete but will probably transition over to small section 8 multi family units for the next few years.

So I think the best strategy is to build wealth in valuable, appreciating LA assets, and then transition to more cashflowing assets down the road.You mention Inglewood, and that's where I'm looking now, too.

Just recently started a STR in Boone, NC and so far things are running smoothly.

Three doors in one building seemed like a great deal in terms of maintenance, and the neighborhood was definitely transitioning into a better situation.

Glitch at resale with electrical system having to be rewired for grounding but otherwise smooth.

Thinking of these results or anything similar, I can't think of a reason not to transition into whatever comes next through a house-hack.
