As far as what I do, I am a funding specialist and work closely with real estate investors to raise capital tax-free by using a specially designed holding account that grows your money between 5%-10% of interest and when it is time for you to pull the trigger on the next property purchase, you will enjoy a much lower lending rate of 3.5% - 4.5% on time for their next property.I've been doing this for 9 years and have worked closely with real estate investors for the last 4 and a half.About my future goals, I am interested in partnerships with other investors within the local area (Bay Area).

(I'm thinking adding 2 Beds and 1 bath, or maybe a master with walk in closet and an on suite, a large corner home office, etc. raise rent to $1,600)Needs: Roof, Siding, and Basement Work (potentially more space if the basement is redone, adding a bedroom and bathroom, rent at $1,800?) 

If you've got the backbone to hold up to any challenges this situation might bring about, you could potentially get a pretty good deal on the house. 

I personally prefer staying in a nicer STR and appreciate nicer finishes, details, and a unified ascetic, and want to provide a similar experience to our future guests.
