I am looking to pull the trigger and try to find my first real estate deal!

They are pretty much phasing out EZ Permits for any non-owner occupied rehab work. 3-units also typically triggers fire alarm requirements and sprinkler system. 

Changing title from an LLC to a personal name (or any for that matter) will trigger a reassessment of property value by the county in California.

Please address these issues immediately and refer to the lease to make sure you are in compliance with the terms that were agreed to when you moved in. 

It seems like you are pretty confident in your numbers, what is holding you back from pulling the trigger?

I would continue pouring your time into education and learning the ropes before pulling the trigger on a property.

I don't own any investment properties at the moment, but I want to finally pull the trigger this year.

I believe in marrying due diligence and homework, with pulling the trigger and going for it when the right opportunity presents itself.Thank you, and looking forward to reading your thoughts and advice!

The "per transaction" costs barely scale up, that needle barely moves.Ponder economy of scale for just a moment.On the loan origination side of things, my flat per loan overhead cost (compliance with gov't rules/regulations is a big part of it) is ballpark the same if it's a $100k loan or a $500k loan.

You should not apply for or enter into any new credit obligations (i.e. car loan, car lease, credit card, etc.) prior to your loan closing."2.
