So when I walk out I tell them it’ll probably cost me X amount of dollars to get the house rent ready including a new roof or hvac within the next few years.

At the end of this project, I will have two turnkey 3BR/2Ba houses on one parcel of land. 

As a licensee I am required to take Continuing Education classes on Fair Housing updates every cycle, so that is my main source of information.

I don’t look at my investments as I got a free house.  

How does anyone BRRRR or do anything real estate related in the Bay Area with housing prices?  

My plan is to build up the capital to make my first investment, that investment being a multifamily (preferably a fourplex), and house hack with it.

A house is bought very cheaply with cash or private money.

Bored dogs do quite a bit of damage, so if it's a 1200 sq ft house in a big city, I would probably stick to lap dogs only, or none at all.

Sounds like you are house-hacking which is owning a prroperty that acts both a personal residence and an investment property.Therefore, you have to properly account for deductions / writeoffs as either deductible or personal.Best of luck to you!

Persistent inflationary pressures, particularly in core services and housing, have raised questions about whether the Fed can maintain its current stance without tightening further.
