And there is a place on their profile for references. 

The choice depends on your threshold of what hassle you are willing to put up with vs what expense is worth it to avoid the hassle. 

It’s a familiar debate, as Californians have faced this choice twice since 2018.Under the 2019 Tenant Protection Act, rent hikes have been capped at 10% per year or lower if inflation rates dictate.

They also need to address exit options and items without a consensus opinion. by the way, we have placed a handful of offers with what my wife refers to as her baby investor.  

Remember, they can always refer themselves😊Now, make it a goal to call at least 5-10 of these people EVERY day and ask a MAX OF THREE off the list below of who they know that:Just inherited a homeHad a loved one pass awayIs behind on their mortgage or tax paymentsHas a relative that can’t take care of their house anymoreHas a house they’re having trouble sellingIs facing bankruptcyKnows a probate attorneyKnows a bankruptcy attorneyetcWhy only three off the list per contact?

When you say an investing business, are you referring to fix and flip?

I expanded fast and my reserves for sure suffered temporarily ( was taking some reserves for future downpayments) , but am aggressively building those back up, while growing my personal savings bucket, and do very strigegent tenant background checks and references.   

Hi Brian, I mostly pull Rentometer pro reports and cross reference with MLS and Zillow but I only focus on properties that ACTUALLY rented, not just listings.

Again, refer to your lease (if reviewed by a lawyer, I hope), and your state & local laws.

The appraiser does not have a purchase price to reference, so they will typically be conservative.
