Under property management costs, usually just the standard 10% of monthly rent is often referenced but the lease renewal costs & tenant replacements costs are not mentioned quite as often.

Zillow is by far the easiest application process 

I live in the SF Bay Area and have decided to buy my first single-family home.I fully acknowledge and recognize that the SF Bay Area and California (in general) may have some of the worst cash flow numbers in the entire country.I've already traveled to cheaper Midwestern states to look at real estate opportunities, but have decided to invest here in the SF Bay Area as I'm purchasing with the intention of living in it first and foremost, and then renting it out sometime in the near future when I move overseas.I'm looking for anywhere in the Greater Bay Area/Northern California region (even Sacramento & Central Valley is okay) with better than average purchase price to rent ratio, and some appreciation (if possible). 

Can I provide notice soon to not intend to renew a lease (no cause) of the section 8 tenant--this is a 12 month lease that ends 10/31/24. 

They really don't have the power or right to place any kind of lien on the property while they simply have it under contract and aren't doing any improvement to the property. 

Originally, I was hoping to have the property owner hold the property while I take the agricultural property through the feasibility study and rezoning to have paper lots approved by the city I choose to annex the property into.    

The best site for that is furnished finder.  

I have found that over time the location and the terms are the most important things, the price is also important, but the location and terms are more important.How did you finance this deal?

For the security deposits - since we will take over is the seller required to transfer those funds to us?
