@Juan MoraHave you had a contractor price the rehab - I have heard San Diego is extremely expensive on rehabs and $100k rehab gets you very little.

Sustainable real estate practices are reshaping the industry, offering a blueprint for environmentally responsible and socially conscious development.

The 70% rule is indeed a common guideline used to evaluate BRRRR deals, ensuring that you can potentially pull most of your money out on refinance.When lenders offer DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans at 75% LTV (Loan-to-Value), it can change your analysis slightly.

Seller Concessions Rules: Sellers can offer concessions through MLS (like buyer closing costs), but it cannot specify buyer agent compensation.

If you think about AirBnB, it essentially acts as an escrow - a guest may book months in advanced and pay at booking, but the funds are not released to you until after check in.I would love landlords perspective from this community on if you would be open to using a trustworthy third party tool that offered this same service (ie. tenants pay whatever your deposit is to this escrow account, then 24 hours after check in it is sent to you).

Ideally I would want him to drive by the home, snap some pictures of outside/inside problem areas to give me ANY idea of repairs expected before an offer is put it.

Hardly anyone offers it and if they do either generic national companies or small ones that aren't marketed very well...

As long as you have experience there are options for this scenario, however most lenders who are going to offer a mortgage on a property that needs a full gut rehab will require that rehab funds be included.

I felt the cost was just too high for what it offered in the way of education, and as you noted, the list of banks offering 1st position HELOCs. 

My realtor (and friend) owns a number of properties and recently offered to sell one to me through a lease purchase agreement.
