So, I've been put together my plans combining what I've learned from David Greene, Graham Stephan, and Grant Cardone (among many others).So here is a high-level overview of my plan.

Also, look into lease options, seller financing, or some combination of the two.

For me, the perfect app would be a combination of in-bound and out-bound marketing to act as a front office concierge that covers the entire customer journey from looking / booking to check-out. 

One of the neighbors did this option but it has its own issues, set-up cost (tank/pump), rain fall and treatment of water.

The negative initial cash flow, poor timing; combined with the current state of the house's financials made me realize how powerful real estate investing is.

Don’t give her special treatment(that means don’t give in) and tell her if she’d like to request to do these upgrades herself(installing a nest or smart thermostat isn’t hard) she can pay for it but if she takes it when she leaves she needs to restore the house back to normal.

Could I combine the two to open up more available cash?

Furthermore, PMs, often have a good relationship with the town allowing the properties they manage for you to get priority treatment by the local government.

I have about $2000 combined in the Roth IRA and 401k that I want to utilize.If I can use this “retirement money” to supplement the down payment, are there any taxes, fees, or legalities that I should be aware of, and can I even do this in general?

Now at the moment my partner and i are trying to find out how to afford a deal given we don't have more than 6K combined in savings and we live in Socal So logically we thought private money and looking farther into it it can cost alot more in terms of money to try and save your bank account than to actually just buy it using your bank account.
