Ive heard hours and hours of podcasts but very little info and tips discussing brand new buildings.

Any info or tips would be appreciated!

Thanks for the read and thanks in advance for any tips/advice you got for me!  

As far as income 2019 I made about $40,000 on the books, $25,000 in 2020, and I'm projected to make $40,000 (W2 income) in 2021 with maybe another 20k from 1099 Uber income , another 18k in cash off the books from tips , two families sell in a 1 mile radius for an average price of 950k I currently owe $680,000, I bought the house for 715k last year , also my income does not include the rental income as I have not filed that as of yet and I would for 2021 , based on all of these numbers would I be able to get a Cash out refinance at a $950k appraisal for a new loan of $712,500 pay back my loan for 680k , take the difference of $32,500 in a cash out , it would probably lower my mortgage as I would get a new loan at 75% LTV based on the new appraisal, meaning I would have 25% equity left in the house and remove my PMI .

And thanks for the tip, I'll look into the local REIA chapter!

They have unauthorized pets, unless the pull the old trick of these pets are “emotional support” or “service animals”, the. that’s a whole other issue, especially since you are in California 

So wanted to ask:1) Anyone else had any similar challenges and if there's any good tips on finding off-market deals and contractors?

@Zeke Sanchez another great tip with VA loans, is that VA will only let you have one VA loan at a time.

Here's just one example: https://www.courts.ca.gov/docu...I'm no expert, but it appears your tenant can request a "pre-inspection" up to two weeks prior to departure to get an idea of what they can expect and for you to give them cleaning tips.

Also, any tips on building a list of them?
