The zoning changes will make California a hot real estate market.

The benefit to buying cash and refinancing later is that you can close on a property quickly, which works in your favor in competitive markets.

Are you looking to stick within your market?

@Jim LynchSome typical minimum tenant screening requirements look like the following, but it depends on your market:-Renter has a gross monthly income of 3x more than the monthly rent-Minimum credit score of 650-Renter must have no prior evictions-No felons (or other notable criminal history)There are a number of different tenant screening softwares out there such as Zillow Rental Manager, TransUnion SmartMove, etc.Be sure to complete an employment verification by contacting the renter's employer and confirm the details they shared with you, landlord verification (if they have a previous landlord), credit check, and background check.

My former experience has been with LTR and I'm currently focused on STR in E TN but interested in learning other useful strategies and expanding markets in later deals. 

Do you have any projections for what will happen with the insurance market for this year, or is it even possible to project? 

The rental market has slowed in recent months but expected in winter.
