I'll spend a few minutes to offer some guidance, but the vast majority are time wasters.

escrow and title are vastly different than CA.... in many markets..

Like I said, I think many people overestimate the impact of the stadium on the local economy but I think you're vastly underestimating it.   

I know this because we sat down and looked at her credit report in the Mint app (a soft inquiry, and yes I know it only gives data from 1 agency but I don't expect the other 2 to be vastly different).

The vast majority of banks will not do a HELOC on an investment property.

Awesome to have access to such a vast group of like minded people.

An LLC may be the perfect route for one person while an S-Corp may be perfect for another.While on the surface, both are doing the same type of business, the facts and circumstances regarding their financial and tax goals, their other sources of income, their tolerance for regulation, their family status and their retirement goals may be vastly different, which would affect the type of entity that works best for them.Taxes are not a cookie cutter, one-size-fits-all topic.

But that is something the vast majority of people do not think about (or won't be able to - imagine a successful dentist that runs a local practice).It will be interesting to see how the Bay Area and SoCal deal with housing.

The rents are vastly under market so if we fix it up, and can even get one of the two units empty, it should work nicely.

Long story short, I disagree with a lot of what is being said in these comments.The vast majority of part time agents treat it as a hobby, have no idea what they are doing, etc.
