Landlord friendly states are going to be your best friend since CA isn't the best at looking out for landlords. 

I'm pretty easy going and always down to make friends, so if anyone is around here wants to connect, let me know.  

It definitely has fulfilled all of my expectations and more...and what I love most about it is the fact that it is completely user friendly -- it's a very intuitive program with a vast array of features.

Everyone says to find properties and build a buyer's list, but neither matter if you can't calculate the repair costs and also get access to a friend or colleague who has MLS so you can do a proper and real ARV (the other part where all wholesalers fail).

I would also find out from your friend if they have increased the rent since that tenant has been in the house. 

I will be investing more in Wichita-I love that town & made some life long friends there.

@Anshuman ThakurThere are some very good advantages to investing in Nevada, low property taxes, no income tax, and landlord friendly.

Do you want tenant-friendly or a hammer? 

Maybe seller holds a 2nd, maybe partner with someone, maybe get some F&F (friends and family) money, maybe offer a higher rate for the 2.5 years the 2nd is outstanding. 

My wife briefly help a friend manage their monthly short term rental in San Francisco while they were traveling and have a few friends that do it.Monthly rentals seem to book pretty well, but not at a significant premium to long term term rentals.
