Keep in mind most cities you cant touch these folks... maybe the pendulum is swinging back to logic and protecting the innocent landowners.That pendulum may swing, but I'm very doubtful that it will in CA  Or Oregon and Washington.. 

Might be worth simply waiting for current tenants to vacate.Also, in Washington you do have to provide 48 hour notice and if you can get a response to your request for the tour, that is sufficient.

I’m consistently between the Seattle WA area (also very expensive) and the San Diego area but open to better markets for investing.

I'm in the DC/ VA area and I'm under contract in one of my properties.

I live in WA where eviction is almost impossible lol I’m talking about using a call center to generate leads of people interested in selling their home like a whole sales but instead of just stealing properties and then selling them to investors do a novation and arrange agreeable terms between the buyer and seller.

Used mobile homes here in WA state sell well and for considerably more than 5K, even if they need to be moved.

As of 2019, the states with the highest number of foreign-owned acres were Texas (4.4 million acres), Maine (3.3 million acres), Alabama (1.8 million acres), and Washington and Colorado (1.5 million acres each).

In my state (Washington, that is actually illegal).

I'm working w/ a realtor who regularly works with investors and also does project management for BRRRRs and flips. 

We have a tenant in Washington County, Maryland who pays his rent on time every month, but has refused to pay his water bill, even though in the Lease Contract it states he's responsible.
