It must make selling a house IMPOSSIBLE until its paid off since the same issue sounds like it would apply.

The homeowner has direct title, can sell at any time and gets 100% of the appreciation and tax benefits on these houses.

@Kris Lou Be careful with agents as 95%+ of them really only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions.We don't do biz in Indianapolis, so this is unbiased info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

When a tenant moves out, transfer the deposit back to Checking so it's ready to apply towards expenses or refund the Tenant.If you end up with excess funds in the Checking account, I recommend you transfer it to a third account designated explicitly for future investments.

If CA landlords can share their thoughts and direct experiences, I’d be grateful.

Yes, that is what I meant by securities, not sure what else that term applies to honestly.

It’s simply a place to start your own research or to give to your attorney if you need to find out if it applies…https://amihousebuyers.com/selling/disclosure/#:~:text=Key%2....Do you have to disclose water damage when selling a house?

Took a different direction once I noticed the Houston slime agents.

There was an article published in Sept 2024 that showed the average consumer would save over $10,000 by working with a broker vs a direct lender over the life of their loan. 

Adding details and specifics can help get to the answer or direction you're looking for.
