They are willing to give the lock box code after I have sent over a photo ID. 

Quote from @Sahara Faughn: I am currently in Preforeclosure with a scheduled auction on August 20th, and I am under a special forebearance due to medical issues and having 2 small children under the age of 7.

How did you decide which neighborhood/street/zip code to start with?

If you do not like bookkeeping/accounting/technology, hire a bookkeeper specializing in real estate investors.

DSCR guidelines vary by lender and working with a mortgage broker or lender that specializes in these mortgages can help get better terms such as a DSCR 1 ratio vs a DSCR 1.2 ratio.

Awe, a handbook should be the simple version of rental law, imagine what the code reads like.  74 pages of insanity.

Expertise and Experience: Property managers have specialized knowledge in managing properties, including understanding local market trends, legal requirements, and tenant relations.

Overall, the 78726 ZIP code ranked No. 21 among the hottest ZIP codes in Texas. 

Highly recommend getting in touch with a good landlord/tenant lawyer that specializes specifically in CA. 

I recommend that you learn the tax code and take ownership over your strategy.Not having some foundational knowledge and an opinion on how to approach taxes as a business owner is a huge mistake.In my experience, every single business owner who says "I just let my CPA worry about it and I focus on my business" is doing a suboptimal job at tax planning.They are likely missing out on 10s or hundreds of thousands in saved dollars every year.Stop making excuses and get to work.Just a few months of part-time learning about taxes will pay you for the rest of your career.
