I am based in OC if anyone has recommendations on advisers Real estate, financial, meet ups, anything really.

An agent, lender, inspector or contractor that is transaction based?

Typically speaking we leave out front/side exterior photos on every listing, regardless of grandeur.Years ago there was a rash of thefts in South Florida where people were finding houses based on map and exterior photos and breaking in when vacant and clearing them out. 

It is not really apples to apples, but generally speaking the more money invested the further ahead you will be eventually in the future, just because your compounding base is higher, regardless of where the money comes from - ie, 4 300k properties are 1.2 million on property, which is double the 600k property.

All in all - owning a place to rent to other people is a business, and business decisions need to be made based on that cold hard facts and not on an emotional basis, unless someone wants to quickly go out of business.

Unfortunately, based on my experience, I'd be surprised if this is a legitimate opportunity for investment... more likely it is a means by which Eric and his team gets rid of properties they no longer want.

As long as the property generates enough cash flow, you may qualify based on the asset alone.Another route is to explore portfolio loans from local banks or credit unions.

You just discriminated against them based on family status.It's good to have a heart-to-heart talk with them about what they can afford and see what they want to do.

Thank you lendinghome.com  large HML based out of SF  google them.. very transparent.  

Review the quality of the tenant base (do they have a history of paying on time, what were the original screening criteria, do they have applications on file).
