Buiying a house previously owned by a sex offender
I am planning to become an investor who buys old houses, rents them out for a year during the time it takes to get permits in the Bay Area and then demolishes it, build a new house and sell it. I recently came across a house that is currently owned by a sex offender. After closure, he wants to rent back for a couple of months. Are there likely to be any complications? Will his name come off the sex offender list once I buy it? Is the rental for one year likely to get affected? Same when I try to sell it in two years?
