Tarik Nabi You could hide in a closet with a computer for a year and watch Scott Carson videos without watching the same video twiceHe has a boatload of free content - I recommend familiarizing yourself with the free content then taking his virtual note buying workshop.

The refinance ideally lets you recapture all of your investment (we have never achieved this) but for this example we will say after the refinance you are in for 10% of original purchase but the rent has gone up in proportion to the value (so your equity is significantly increased with less money invested and the cash flow is virtually the same).  

@Richard TavetianYou've got an incredible feedback from @Charles Seaman.I'd say, you should start with education - learn as much as possible about MFH investing through books, podcasts, networking (virtual for now), so that when the times comes, you're ready to take action you know what you're doing.Here're some additional articles to check out:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/10-things-investors-should-know-before-jumping-into-multifamily-housinghttps://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/10850/87253-should-i-scale-my-investment-from-single-family-homes-to-multifamilyhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/10850/81214-what-goes-up-must-come-down-or-market-cycles-fluctuation

Hello Investors,I am looking for advice from property managers, virtual assistants and people who use virtual assistants to operate their business.Aside from STR projects, I freelance my services to management companies.

.: I got brain cells to burn and am also in the east bay lol Cool, let's get together sometime, even if it's virtual.

It comes with the Participant Loan feature allowing you to borrow from your account up to $50K tax free, which is not available with an IRA.Any investment made with your Solo 401k (you have virtually unlimited investment options) grow tax-deferred (or tax free if you chose to utilize the Roth sub-account of your Solo 401k) and do not require a custodian consent, unlike with SDIRA.

In virtually all cases, they are being valued less than the hands off cost to add the ADU. 

@Sean M. check into virtual staging.  

Are you looking for in person, or virtual?
