You still make some money, and get your foot in the door. - If you have a very good deal, look into hard money.

(I'm not doing that)They are getting mostly med. students and traveling doctors through networking with hospital. 30-60 day stays that just wanted relaxation and out of the hotel.Small town is 7min away and most restaurants are 15-20min.It is not a great market for vacation rentals, so I'd like to get a good enough kitchen to be able to have 6-12month leases if needed.I found a little extra space under the stairs to put a 28" wide 14 cubic foot fridge, so I have more space than I originally thought.

I would also join the local REIA to build possible Joint venture relationships. 12K and good credit is a good foot in the door.

Depending on the space size/ price per square foot.

That sign needs some fine print on it that says "These results are not typical and are unlikely to occur for YOU."  

I was told that owner financing is a good way to get my foot in the door.

Depending on the carpet you should be able to get it done for $1.25 to $1.50 a square foot.  

Because I don't have plans for the house yet I only got a very rough price at $350/square foot.

Neighboring Manhattan Beach is the most expensive area in terms of price per square foot in Los Angeles County, so it's not looking good in that direction.  

Good evening- I am thinking of making an offer on 1300 sqr foot home that needs new siding.
