So I'll keep my current plan of photos and video as the  main source for "showings".  

I went to the ATM to today to see if I could just start withdrawing my funds from the account that way but since I have several virtual accounts with funds in each one and baselane only issued one debit card for the "main" account, it won't let me pull the funds from the additional accounts.

Ideally, I would love to buy a multi-family property and rent it out, I would consider house hacking but I mainly want to my first property to be one that I can improve on and have it generate income for me.

There are a bunch of good choices IMHO.We don't have leather but all our surfaces are super durable because they are higher end sofas and chairs.The 3 main couches are a pair of Basset and a La-Z-Boy.

@George JanCollections violations and licensing requirements are the main liabilities I'm talking about here. 

It also makes it harder for other operators down the road--- not your main concern but we all impact each other.What about you and your wife live in the garage unit, and rent out the house for a lot more, at least until all this permitting is figured out.

When you sell, you will likely get appreciation - but that is not the main purpose of your investment.Direct SF ownership might be safer - also, it might not be safer.   

The main way to reduce your DTI from RE is using a DSCR loan, however using an LLC is recommended to do so more effectively.

You get a great house to live in $150k-300k less than what you would otherwise pay for OR sell the main house as well for maximum profit.Photos are of a recent project from 2017.

My biggest hurdle has been securing financing to work on multiple projects simultaneously.
