To evict a tenant based on a lease violation such as hoarding would require you to notify them and then give them an opportunity to fix the situation.

We've got strong job growth (tech, healthcare, education), stable population growth, strong rental demand, and plenty of value-add opportunities in multifamily.

If there is demand and the market supports a market for mobile homes, it could be an opportunity.

Desperate - experienced, nothing to lose type of situation, and the opportunity is so amazing that it is life changing  (Ah what the heck, he was already on the edge, it may work, it may not, but he was in a desperate situation)I wouldn't recommend it for normal people.

Not sure, but I don't see interest rates coming down much in 2025.There are always opportunities if you look for them, no one will like bring them to your front door on a silver platter.It seems like when you aren't looking for opportunities they do present themselves.Kinda like it's easier to find a girlfriend when you already have one.

The premise of those opportunities are based on you living there for an extended amount of time.

So i am not currently actively seeking brrrr opportunities (but if one fell into my lap, i would no complain).Likely the most sure value add in So Cal at this point are lot splits.  

Her leaving was bittersweet, as it was for a great personal opportunity for her.I’d love advice from you seasoned landlords:Should I lower the requirements in light of the area’s circumstances, or wait it out?

There are cheaper markets that your current savings would go further and possibly provide better opportunity (almost definitely in the short term).

You need to connect with people, form trust relationships, learn from others in your area and you'll be surprised how opportunities open up.
