Myself I think if one wants to get into real estate in CA you get into the bizz you get licensed so you can legally collect fee's you put in the hard work like most wholesalers have to now..

With fees doubling and competition heating up, you might want to rethink this investment.

Are you an agent paying a bird-dog fee to a lender for sending you clients or vice versa?

For example, you can prepay for your marketing, your entire office rent for next year, your insurance premiums, your property taxes, your attorney's and accountant's fees, and so on.

They're offering a few thousand more than asking and will also pay agent fees.

.- Taxes and costs: It’s important to consider taxes and additional fees, which can often be higher than in the U.S.- Financing options: In some European countries, investors also turn to private lenders or lines of credit to expand their portfolio.To scale a portfolio in Europe, a common strategy is to reinvest rental income and refinance properties as their value increases over time.

You can do whatever you want in terms of bending for the tenants and trying to provide "great service,' but the truth is you receive no credit for it and will be the evil landlord at the first repair that takes too long, late fee owed, alternation denied, etc.  

An architect told me that even though ADUs should not be bigger than 50% of the main house, I should be able to permit this one with SB09 if I pay a fee (about $8k according to my agent).

For example, if you’re holding a triplex in Irvine, the strategies are going to differ greatly from someone managing high-end rentals in Newport Beach.Costs and Terms: Watch out for hidden fees.

If I threw the money into SPY, it would be a 104% gain compared to walking away with an 80% gain after fees/commissions.
