I’ve had 2-3 buyers interested in Lakewood and Edgewater areas continuously over the last 1 1/2 yrs so have spent a lot of time looking at properties in these areas- here are a few additional observations:The numbers on renovated full size Lakewood two family don’t match most investors criteria (greater than 7% ROI).  

My fiance and I just moved into a new build in North Sparks, but continuing to slowly build funds up, do improvements to the rentals, and pay down my mortgages. 

google All inclusive Deed of Trust state of CA.. that will give you a really good description and if you can find the actual deed of trust to read its a great wrap document .. in practice   you have a current 100K loan at 8%  you sell by owner and take a 125k note at 9%  the 125k wraps the 100k.. you continue to pay on the 100k the while the new owner is paying on the 125k  payment lets say on the 100k are 1k a month the new payment is 1.2k a month you make the 200.00 delta..

Preferrably, stay in the same area and continue to learn.Going to another area would bring additional challenges that you may have difficulties meeting.

But when we compare this year's figures to 2019 (the last normal tourism year pre-COVID), we see continued growth. 

I can continue scaling my portfolio with confidence.Any questions about this deal?

if you aren't will to or don't want to go into those types of areas, but by all means the FHA or 5% down conventional 2-4 unit loan is gonna be the way to go in my opinion.We did a house hack as our first move into reale state investing and it was the best thing we ever did and continues to expand ints benefits to us every year, So I am a huge fan of the strategy. 

At first, he never responded to the suit though it had been delivered, and I continued moving the process forward, filing for summary judgement.Late in the process, long after his deadlines to respond had passed, he hired a small time tenant attorney to intervene.

Today I am only managing my own property 15 units but will continue to grow that number.

Hello @Kenji Tominaga,Agreed with @Chris Seveney regarding having the owner offer cash for keys.Since there aren't many options on the market that can compare to the deal you have in place, I'd recommend waiting it out (if possible).Chances are, the value of the subject property will continue to increase while you wait for the tenant issue to be resolved.
