The only problem with that plan is that I'm located in Orange County and I'd imagine most properties out here are well outside my affordability. 

Hey Jeff, the area is filled with homes 500-800 sqft and obviously bigger as well.

Thanks in advance Hi - check out this article published last year here on BiggerPockets - it addresses this exact question all the info and options on BRRRR financing, hope it helps!

If they are showing you multiple homes, consider their time as well, and their desire to be compensated because it is their business too.In San Antonio, I pay an annual and quarterly fee for MLS access.I wish you all the best.

Cabins in the Smokies typically don't have a garage, but your point is well taken with this much space.  

Well done!

I have been doing TurboTax for last 20 years and some of my real estate i purchased were in 2009(condo) and 2013(townhome) timeframe

Also, I'm living in Redondo as well, and working in Old Town Torrance during the week. 

I can never know for sure if the pipes or wiring was replaced (my biggest concern), I don't think an inspector can actually tell as well since you have to tear down the entire house.
