@Jason MatthewsHi Jason, Welcome to the community. 

AB 1033 allows ADUs to be sold as condominiums under specific conditions, creating new pathways for homeownership.

I'm going to try leasing the place out myself again, but if I'm struggling, I will hire property manager. 

Go to AirBNB app and research which areas have the most listings, that usually means that its a HOT area and if you run it right you can succeed.  

Day 1: Securing the Property & PlanningIf you’re getting ready to rehab a house, the first thing you need to do is lock it down and get your paperwork in order.🔹 Step 1: Secure the HouseBefore anything else, slap a lockbox on the door and get some keys made.

Hi Gabriel, glad to connect.  

- My first thought is offering cash, but the home owner would most likely just let it go to foreclosure because of how low the offer would be. - My second thought is offering some cash and taking over the loan - there are no liens on the property yet.

Quote from @Matt Schreiber: @John Underwood Thanks for your input, I assume a beachfront house is going over 1 million in that area right? 

Banks don't lend so little on traditional mortgage and hard money lenders don't go there , so no option for average Joe to get a qualified mortgage or for Jim the Handyman to finance it.

She is not going to, so she needs to leave.
