I've run a few properties through the calculators here on BP and it's hard to get an idea what sort of cash flow and/or appreciation is possible. 

I do not have many people around me with an interest in real estate and I’d like to start being around/talking with other investors and possibly go to meet ups together and things of that sort.

ARe there normal ways to do this or do I need to do a personal loan of some sort?

Would that cause any sort of legal issues.

Let me know what sort of information you’re looking.

Get the book Photovoltaic Design and Installation by Ryan Mayfield on Amazon on paperback, or Kindle and read it carefully before you install solar so you know exactly what will work, what will not work, exactly what type system you need and then when you talk to solar installation companies you will sort of know what you want.

Thanks so much in advance,MauricioHi Mauricio,If it were mine, I'd stay out of it 100%.I'd let the courts tell these two what the laws of California have to say about this.You have a disability renter in a SFH, and they have stated they are ready to go to court.That's where I'd leave it.As long as the monthly rent keeps coming in, I'd let the Judge sort it out for them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

You can check with a land use planner who usually can do this sort of investigation as well for a fee but the first two things shouldn't cost more than a few bucks for copies of permits or what the assessor's office has for their records.

Hey Scott, thanks for the feedback. see image below with description.

Has anyone had good success on getting vacation rentals with some sort of year round appeal or at least ones that can demand enough rent to cash flow?
