Back to my example above, I buy the house initially with 50,000 cash, rehab for 15,000, then refi for 100,000.

We’ve at least settled on a broker for the purchase: Second City Real Estate-Brie Schmidt.Since I learn best by being hands-on, I would initially like to be my own property manager for the first property or two.

She initially said she’d take this approach but then came back a couple of days ago and said she’d talked to her roommate and he and the guest said they’d move out by the first rather than show the insurance paperwork I asked for the dog and pay her for their share of utilities. 

Any information helps as I am a newbie still iso my first rental property also looking to house hack !

Due to the current market we opted not to have the seller pay any closing cost so that was the initial deal but after seeing that they have a significant amount in unpaid taxes that they're essentially asking me to pay I am wondering if we should renegotiate the deal or just move forward(the numbers still work with the additional tax amount).Anyone been in a similar situation or could share your thoughts on how to approach this new information?

I'm still struggling with finding the best way to make first initial contact and ask them to work together, some of them are open and most already work with a handful of Investor.

Isn’t it ironic that I can write in earlier stories above about increasing sales and prices of SoCal homes, and yet 66,000 Los Angelenos continue to be homeless… Initial Jobless Claims.

So my initial investment is 11k.
