I don't know what the housing stock is like out in LA, but in Denver and Colorado Springs, we find a good number of homes with basements that have a separate entrance so you can Airbnb or rent it separately while you're there.

Its going to be $3-5k per year to maintain the license.

Regarding LLC's in CT, I believe they have an annual renewal fee of $150-$200, similar to Connecticut's handling of other professional licenses (expensive to maintain).

We are very thankful our three different tenants maintained their employment during the COVID-19  shutdowns and were able to pay on time and in full last month.  

Worked well for me in maintaining order of my leads. 

There's the idea floating around that much of the reason REI and the stock market have done so well this round is because of the money that was pumped into the system during the GFC, and it's not because there was anything special about the fundamentals of any particular asset class. 

Having a relationship, where they can see how much you have in savings/checking and have maintained over a sustained period can help as well.I would not apply for anymore credit at this point. 

If they see you as a friend they're more likely to care about maintaining a relationship (and pay you in a timely fashion). 

Hi @Shaq Gordon,I think the best way to navigate a volatile market is not to try an predict the absolute "best" time to buy, but rather, look for opportunities that match your investment criteria and strike when you find it.Timing the market (whether stocks or real estate) is a fools game.  

I have been planning on using money from the stock market to do my first deal.
