I wouldn't recommend trying to GC it yourself due to potential liability and reduced efficiency of building. 

Sorry for my ignorance, we're really new at this and are trying to do this in the most efficient and cost saving way possible.

I purchased a home last year for 270, the home appraised for 349, since, property values have continued to go up, i have fenced the entire property (2.67) acres, i have added a high efficiency heat pump/AC, pulled out old carpet, added LVP, and re painted the entire inside of the home.

I personally would never use an A/C in San Pedro (rather open windows than pay for energy costs), and I know that my opinion is biased, so I’d like to know your opinions...should I get the A/C system anyway?

@Tom Doherty I had an oil furnace replaced with a high efficiency gas furnace direct vented and new return run for $2,600.

Our market happens to be experiencing a 98% list-to-sales price ratio and record low days on market; submitting offers at 80% of sticker price and hoping one sticks is not a very efficient way of doing things (even if you read it in a book).

I did power, energy, backup generation and switchgear projects and did some stuff for utility clients as well. 

@John Cashway Legal tech companies such as LegalZoom, Rocketlawyer and eForms have dramatically improved legal services cost and efficiency over the past few years.

Anywho, I think South LA (Inglewood, View Park, Park Hills Heights) could offer what you’re looking for and use your equity efficiently.

I am looking for guidance on a structure that is:- Most tax efficient from capital gains - Most cost effective to maintain the structure- Allow me to leverage my personal credit Any guidance is appreciated.
