Quote from @George Bell: I belong to a big real estate investment group and we have a lawyer on retainer and he actually advises on #3.

I will check them out.Alecia-I belonged to a few Facebook groups.

Tenants will want to store their belongings, otherwise you get transient types.

Are you aware that on some deals some lenders may require certain net worth requirements of you, and certain amounts of cash equivalents to belong to you to qualify as a borrower? 

@Clay Hall, I’ve looked far and wide for a lender that will do HELOCs for properties that belong to an LLC and I have yet to find one.

You have a tenant living fulltime in a unit and likely is leaving their belongings in the unit while you occupy it.

At the same time, look to see if he left any contact information behind and reach out to family to determine his status.If you can't contact anyone soon, I would consider moving his belongings to storage, terminating the lease, and finding a new roommate.Because you are in California, I would consult an attorney.

What MLS and board does your broker belong to? 

There is too much risk of damaging their belongings and work will be slower as people are working around things.

In short, getting the place restored was akin to remediating damage from a natural disaster.In the trash and belongings abandoned by the tenant, he also left the OM for his healthcare real estate endeavor, nasty-grams from the IRS about his personal taxes, and collections letters from several creditors after him.I got burned here and so did my property manager.
