I would appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide in this matter.

Ideal spend is $400-$650k.Is Southern California just a death trap for ROI and people get rich here with appreciation only?

Your advice will be greatly appreciated as I aim to identify the most viable areas for investment.

Thank you for sharing that tip.. this is what I've been after, short of knocking on the doors of garage-convo homes I see in my neighborhood... and I'm not that bold so this is SO appreciated!!

Appreciate it,  Dawn

Any help would be appreciated.

The reason I thought about putting the other house (not the residence) in an LLC, at least any expense can be considered business expense. appreciate your input. 

Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Again I don't recommend using the HELOC to buy a LTR unless you can force appreciation heavily and refi out the HELOC.Regardless having a HELOC out is a good idea so you can be your own bank and fund a flip or BRRRR.I would go with the 300k as it might take time for me to find a deal and I would have more resources for bigger projects. 1% isn't too crazy... accesss to 100k is better IMO
