I lived in Ocean Park and Sunset Park (and numerous other areas in LA) before purchasing this home.

I’ve done numerous flips for clients, have put some American Standard toilets in better houses simply for the brand name but I’ve probably installed 75 Home Depot toilets and zero issues. 

And there are in numerable podcasts but I would certainly include BiggerPockets in the mix.

I have read and listened to numerous discussions about the tax advantages in the world of real estate investing, but I have two questions that I haven't gotten a great answer to.

I did some due diligence on this and found out it’s super sketch, with numerous downsides, like locking up any remaining equity because you can’t increase the debt on the property, undervaluation of the property to gain an advantage.

I especially liked episode 4 because having a summarized explanation from a reliable source on what the Fed is currently doing (related to interest rates and macroeconomics) and why they do things is beneficial to understanding what opportunities might look like in the near-term future. 

Properties that you buy for $18.5K and that you rent out for $1900/month will eventually bury you, one way or the other.SECOND, as I have said here on BP numerous times, when you are a low-income handyman landlord, you have to follow three very basic rules.

I've asked Apartments.com about certain features, like having the apartment numbers actually listed in numerical order instead of randomly and being able to email/text tenants thru Apartments.com.

Thanks for the explanation.

I guess you didn't see the explanation provided in the 2nd post on this page.
