You are likely able to find turn key or minimal cosmetic rehab in basically all areas, but have you thought about the type of return you are shooting to achieve?

I am all for taking action to achieve goals so I have been doing a lot of research and reading on House Hacking.

Or you can put up a website and some ads online and be 1 of 100,000,000 others, with no personal connection or recognition, just another name floating around the internet and someone’s inbox.

For those of you that worked your way upward to owning a residential building, could you please share how you achieved it ?

I think we are going to be able to finally achieve that on my first project, but it became quite clear that there need to be strong incentives at each level in order to keep a rehab on track. 

Also, "The One Thing" by Gary Keller and "Wealth Can't Wait" by David Osborne will help you determine your big picture goals and start to focus down on how to achieve them.

There were terms such as "expect", "you can achieve 15%", etc. and those are close, but can easily be danced around by a good defense. 

I am hoping to get started by househacking (as I know achieving cash flow in LA is difficult) and gradually build a larger portfolio over time.

Buyer will require Seller to reasonably cooperate to achieve the desired rezoning, and the intended use will often be spelled out in the contract.

Make sure you still achieve your cash flow and equity targets.
