I have an investment property in Los Angeles county, my tenant is paying me on time.   

The newer ones also allow for a recirculation line as well.

Rents tend to rise over time, amortization steadily increases equity, incomes rise, so the investor has a lot of “cover” for unfortunate timing or operating “mistakes”.Number 2 - periods like 1932 - 1941 and 2008 - 2013 are much harder on this strategy.  

Don't need an LLC, which adds to the cost (for now since everything is in a trust and I have an umbrella policy for liability, eventually I will get an LLC where I can spread the costs out)I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this.

I’m getting 15-30% CoC on them and I’ve bought 3 in the last 18 months.  

Nice move on the buy side, and excellent situation where STR/MTR assists you in covering the mortgage.  

You have to refinance your first home and do FHA on your second one.

Hi All, I know I haven't been on here for a while, but I've honestly been too busy to log on and interact.

That is on them to figure it out.Are you listed on the MLS with an agent as well?

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!
