After my first baby girl was born I needed a more flexible schedule to tend to my kid so I quit my wonderful pharm tech job and become an insurance/financial representative with COUNTY Financial.

You have a edge over someone who's not tech savy.

I google'd around for the USPAP standards after reading why he said it was a duplex, and sure enough it was a duplex according to USPAP standards, sorry agent, sorry seller, and sorry county of Alameda (he was super liberal with market rents on the 2 units that he had to call 1 unit, because it was one GIANT unit, so the rental income was actually fine). 3.

I'm from Chicago and in my neck of the woods Security Deposits are a giant pain in the butt if you're a landlord.

This led me to looking at bank owned properties for around 10,000 to 15,000 however every single one (even though fixed up nicely each would only be worth 35,000-40,000) had something seriously wrong with it from mold infestation to a giant hole in the ceiling to literally being condemned due to foundation issues.

I know the city extremely well, as I've grew up here, so my only addition is knowing competitive advantages of the landscape, i.e. incoming Silicon Beach tech scene, gentrifying hip neighborhoods, etc.
