@Vidit Maini Starting your business as an LLC taxed as a C corporation offers flexibility but involves double taxation unless you elect S corp status, allowing profits to pass through to your personal return.For tax savings, deduct startup costs, track business mileage or vehicle expenses, and consider a home office deduction.

Our top return property is far better than our average return property.I do not get to make the rules (and there are many rules/regulations that I do not like), but the rules have not prevented me from making good profits in CA real estate. 

Like any other wholesale market, I "buy" a loan from a lender at a discount and mark it up for my profit.

More storage equals happier tenants, and happier tenants equal bigger profits.

I’m in CA also and paid cap gains on huge profits to the tune of 28%, which included CA state cap gains.

The price to build is not linear so the bigger the house that can be built the greater the profit per SF.

If so, how was the experience, profit, and how did you find them?

I've wondered that myself and thought: If an investor was looking for birddogs why would the birddog have to pay the investor money before they began securing leads for the investor, that the investor would then in turn give the birddog an investor's cut on the profit end???

What about Not-for-profit HOA's.Anyone heard of this?

Even with the best Property Managers Real estate is not PASSIVE that said get into the right syndications with the right sponsors and it can truly be mailbox money. 5️⃣ Fix and Flip Properties:With under $100k, you can take on smaller distressed properties, renovate them, and resell for a profit.
