I attempted to update my original post with more specifics, but the updates never showed up, so I created a new post here:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/1167489-seek...Thanks,Sean

CPA and Lawyers will always tell you to get one (and contrary to popular rumors this has nothing to do with getting more $ for filing fees).

On the vacation home front with conventional financing, Fannie and Freddie made some changes that hurt the pocket book: Second home loan upfront fees increased between 1.125% and 3.875% depending on the loan-to-value (LTV) starting in April 2022.

My properties were making my original investment back in profits within 6-8 months max and I was able to reinvest my profits into the next property fairly quickly.In 2021, I got my second unit.

When there are property damage issues, California landlord tenant laws allow the tenant to recover attorney's fees in addition to other damages. 

It's the same work to do a $50K loan as a $500K loan so the fees will be higher due to the loan amount but will still be much lower than what a lender or broker gets paid on a higher loan amount.

In regards to the pricing strategy of the top performing listings in Music Row, I have attached below a chart representing how their daily rates vary thoughout the year for a 7-day booking: I did the same with the cleaning fee (per day of booking) below: With all these figures, I build a financial case study for a 1 bed / 1 bath property listed in Zillow at $385,000. 

I started off as a loan originator which sparked my interest in investing.

Initially had some cabinets painted because they didn't like the original color. on it goes.

Maybe because I did all my rehab and reno in the past with cash, but the terms of hard money is high 10.9 - 12.5% with 2-2.5% origination fee, and a long list of draw fee, inspection fee, doc fee etc.Right now i have 450k cash in the bank, 250k HELOC from main property, another 200k HELOC can be opened on my fully owned GA SFH.
