I ask the questions I asked because in future state (10-15 years) I would love to manage funds.

I would love to get my feet wet with a deal.

I love the idea of building a small portfolio and leaving it to family."

I served a 3-day notice at the beginning of Dec but did not follow up with eviction as I was way too nice and decided to allow him and his 4 very young children to live out the holiday season in the house.I sent him a letter at the beginning of January, telling him I was not renewing the lease because he had not paid rent in forever, owed money and he needed to leave by Jan 31.

Here are some questions I have:1) Is it better to refinance or to have hard money/private lenders put a 2nd lien on the property to serve as a down payment to be able to borrow 100% of my next project?

Love the fact that you already know you are creating your own reality and changing the game for your family! 

Utah and AZ have some unique lender/landlord laws, so I would avoid those and Vegas is just trickyI'd love to hear more details about the "unique lender / landlord laws" in Utah and AZ, please.Thanks in advance...Doug 

@Shawn Blake I’d love to STR in California, the state I love in.

Loved the idea of real estate!

The question about taxes is a really good one....I'd love to hear if anyone else @Brie Schmidt or @Mark Ainley knows anyone who has done an ADU and how that affected the taxes.
