I was able to roll my vinyl privacy fence and driveway extension into the mortgage.

The upfront cost is rolled into your loan so you're not coming out of pocket, but it leaves you with minimal/no equity out of the gate.  

If you live in CA or other expensive areas, the GI bill could pay you as much as $3000-4000 per month in cash to pay for rent for a few years while you knock out your schooling.Retirement:  With the new retirement system that rolled out, members will only receive 40% of their base salary per year in benefits if they retire at 20 years (as opposed to the previous 50%). 

If I were to come into financial hardship, I could sell one of the homes and roll the proceeds into the other(Probably sell home 1 to pay off home 2).Any advice is appreciated.

Collect the rent roll of the unit and then T-12 financials of the property.

You could do this again and again, rolling that small multifamily into larger and larger apartment buildings.From the stories I’ve heard about HELOCs, you could potentially wrap up all your properties under a single umbrella and borrow against the combined equity of all of them. 

Does that mean we all should roll over and not make our voices heard. 

Loans that use the rent rolls and your credit score instead of personal income. 

I plan to manage and upgrade the properties and rent-roll over time.I now have a trusted individual who wants to passively invest.

With the state-wide rent control in CA, how are you as a fix-and-flip investor or landlord in CA effect you? Will this policy affect your business model negatively? Thank you
