I finally decided to make it official and post an introduction yesterday, so we can be newbies together.

There's not a whole lot of official oversight, so getting good contractors and finding a good base property are key.

The "official" answer from my firm's compliance department?

We get ours from Hobby Lobby.  

It’s exciting and terrifying I had my first accepted offer on first official investment property on 8/15 I close this Wednesday.

When things go BETTER than expected (it doesn’t always happen, but it did this time)🙏🏼🔥💯I bought this property back in April 2023 for $65K 🏚️I put in $35K and put in brand new floors, painted the entire house, new doors, new bathrooms, new appliances, and new plumbing 🫠When I underwrote this property I thought that if I brought in $2,500/month it would be a “double”If I brought in $3,000/month it would be a “triple”And if I brought in $3,500/month it would be a GRAND SLAM 💰🤑We’ll Im happy to announce that I have officially signed a 3 month lease (will likely be at least 6 months) with an insurance company who needed a house for a family because a tree fell on their house (everyone was ok 🙏🏼)And the monthly rent?

The assignments of contract rights to your QI complete what a Senior IRS official once called the "legal fiction" of the 1031 exchange.

Also, if you invest in a C-neighborhood, it pays to know the elected officials and let them know you're investing there and that the city needs to do the same to improve the quality of life for all. 

Hello,The city I am currently in has "view ordinance" so if I were to expand my second floor now, beyond a current room over garage, it would certainly be a huge uphill battle with the city and the neighbors because it would block ocean view for my neighbors in the street behind mine.While talking to one of the city officials, reading between the line, I gathered sense that in 2020 with new ADU laws coming into play for the state of CA, and city's non-existent laws/policies for ADUs, it maybe legal to build two story ADUs (or expand second floor over the existing unit).Does anyone know for a fact it is true that you can build two story ADUs?
