There's the Lead Law that says that you cannot rent to a family with a child under 7 unless you have a lead certificate on file and there's the anti-discrimination law that says that you cannot discriminate based on family status, etc..

That's nothing new here on Bigger Pockets but I've found that most of the community here is anti-coaching and of course anti-guru.

Welcome to BP Ant, i suggest reading the NZ Property Investor magazine and joining your local Auckland Property Investors association. 

the majority of hoa's I've seen in JC are managed by one or many of the property's investors, so generally JC condo hoa's are investor-friendly and the good ones even re-write HOA rules to accommodate investors (or purposefully don't write-in anti-investor by-laws).

WE did the whole negotiation thing with the buyer and agreed to about a dozen items to fix including half a dozen small items like a missing light fixture globe, oven anti-tip bracket and stuff like that.

If there are cashflow returns they will be very small, and tenant laws are anti-landlord in California.  

It's hard to convey just how much the RSO (rent control board) is, pro-tenant and anti-lanlord, to out of state investers.We inherited a condo in a rent controlled area, and didn't know it was rent controlled.

Hi @Stephanie IrtoBeing fair and not predatory re: Rent to own or Lease w Option IMHO is the RTO operator charging market rent, selling at appraisal or a slight increase like 3% increase of appraisal, charging a modest option fee like 3% option fee for the opportunity to buy the property, and doing everything you can to assist the tenant buyer in being successful, including using a servicer for payments directly to owners' bank, insurance, and tax impound accounts, and referring TBer to a competent Credit Enhancement Coach to increase chances of getting mortgage home loan.Ammendments to Reg Z linkATR Ability to Repay linkExempt Transactions 1026 Section linkSummary of TILA RESPA Rule linkBelow is the DFA Housing Sections with a link to the DFA.Title VII—Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending ActSec. 9000.
