Do you think this is a good strategy for me to implement as well, since I am currently paying 3k/month in rent and essentially receiving no added benefit/equity/appreciation for this, or are you suggesting I continue renting indefinitely while I am in the Bay Area and begin my real estate portfolio through OOS investing in a market like Columbus?

Once you have that criteria then you can implement whatever system you have for pulling leads, to target the properties that fit the criteria of those buyers.

Implement our plan and get our money!

Mainly, the systems implemented are fascinating. 

If the work is not 100% complete by the end of the Escrow period, loan may implement a .50% (on total loan balance) extension fee that will cover an additional construction term of 60 days.

Taking loan on your name and then transferring to your LLC might implement”due on sale clause”.Also remember typically banks don’t like lending to LLC, although yes it’s possible to find you may end up paying higher interest.If you’re concern about Liability I suggest keep Property in your personal name and consider Million dollar Umbrella Policy..

I don't think you'll hear many complaining but you might collect a good number of suggestions to implement next year.3.

@David Stone, you are making a good point and I will start implementing this approach.

In the future, you should consider implementing a mandatory rent increase with every renewal just to cover the increased cost of taxes, insurance, etc.

My entire W2 career has been in commercial construction management, and the approaches we're implementing to lock-in pricing in that side of the industry can be emulated on the small scale multifamily level.
