The annoying blue line above sponsored posts. 

Hello everyone on bigger pockets. I am about to enter into a purchase contract for a home but I was told by my agent that 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom is unpermitted. I love the idea of having a extra bedroom to rent out...

It was out of the blue, since earlier she said she wanted to extend.

I found a home two blocks down that I can follow the same blue print with as my current home but they are asking for 20% down as they see it as an investment home because it is is currently smaller than my current residence and only two blocks away. 

@AJ Angel are you looking to be more of an active investor or passive investor right now?

Out of the blue they get notified by the city that they dont have a permit to build on their property.

In blue collar areas, expenses approaching 50% was not uncommon in years past. 

I am a first time home buyer in Los Angeles county and I am looking to buy a duplex owner occupied.

Do you think most people employed in these factories will want to live in the East Austin area or will the blue collar employees be priced out and move to areas east of the facilities? 

I’m looking for RE investors who’re located in the Inland empire, Los Angeles & Vegas area.
