It is unlikely that we are ready to purchase our first property, or that we would be able to negotiate such a discount; however, I am doing exercises to ensure that I am familiarizing myself with the process.One thing about this duplex.

If we cannot find something that makes sense, we are open to other options, possibly flipping a house or apartment.The Goal:My short term goal is to find a duplex in Los Angeles to House Hack.

A couple of pointers:Some groups are simply meet n greets and some have presentations on topicsSome groups are focused on selling products and bootcampsThere is a list of local events here on BP under Community>Networking Events. 

It looks like we are picking up a few doors in Ashland City and am looking for someone to manage them.

We are thrilled with the neighborhood and the commute isn't that tough to downtown.

Our only thing stopping us at this moment is that we are currently doing a complete gut and renovation on our personal residence, (that should be a flip but we actually want to keep) we are putting all of our time and money into it.

I also see where I can set a minimum stay for seasonal or event pricing, but not just for the weekends separate from those features.I am also interested in the features @John Underwood mentioned.95% of my traffic comes from Airbnb.

We are located in Evanston.  

As you know, we are buyers.
