I would tackle that one first and if she isn’t on board then find a new fiancé.

I hope someone in your area decides to tackle something similar :-).

This is not something a newbie should try and tackle..

Have you taken the time yet to reach out to other local investors about tackling long-term investments in the state of California.  

So i am aligning my relationships with these groups to pick up properties they may not want to tackle but they will take the quick wholesale fee.

Good tenants do go bad even with all the screening, so have some funds set aside to tackle the unknown, and you can live to see another tenant.Know what the landlord tenant laws are in your state.

As for your next steps, if you're going to go out of state (pretty common for CA investors) you'll need to decide how you want to tackle that.

First few things I tackled were the disgusting carpets, cleaning and painting all nicotine stained walls, and landscaping.If anyone in the area wants to get together and chat, would love to meet more investors or future investors

These knuckleheads were hired to tackle the added volume added to banks after the S&Ls closed up.

Moreover, I usually advise that if newer investors are going to tackle a rehab project, the scope of work should be limited to cosmetic items only.
