To me, it seems that the BRRRR strategy may be possible given the constraints of a day job but I'm not sure whether that would be wise when compared to dumping any savings into an index fund and letting compounding work over time.I think this site is awesome with regards to everyone's willingness to give advice and guidance and I know I'm just getting started when it comes to diving into the realm of RE investing.

I also do fix and flips in Orange County and would love to have a cup of coffee with you and your husband to compare notes and current projects.

Thanks and reach out any time if you want to compare notes on International Real Estate Investing and due diligence!

They are usually priced at a premium compared to condo units in the neighborhood.Would love to hear what your thoughts are on this topic as well!

I'm pretty inexpensive (about half compared to typical small firms) because I also work full time as an attorney, and merely practice on the side to assist with my real estate deals and pay down law school debt (which is mortgage-sized), but I'm also very good (graduated with honors, guest lecturer, published papers, etc). 

Overpriced compared to a SFH?

You base your asking on comparable sales.  

Many times they will have their own Route Service or be able to recommend one.Make a list of your musts and wants and compare the contracts.Normally they want to have a fixed contract for a set period of time to cover their costs as it is an investment for them and a convenience for you.They need to buy the equipment, pay a service tech to install it, cover all costs of service, repair, collection etc and you provide a room and utilities.What if after 6 months you find a better deal or decide to buy your own and tell them to take it out.

:>)I like to compare out investment strategy with hockey: "A good player goes where the puck is while a great player goes where the puck will be."

Under fha guidelines I have to owner occupy the property for at least a year and 60 days my question is with the tenants approval can I move them into my current home a few streets down avoid a costly eviction write up a new lease and null there current lease so I can occupy the property to satisfy fha  I would still cash flow with this strategy?
