When I have had to evict, I've found the courts and sheriffs here very easy to work with and it has been a quick process (in fact just as quick as any other state which is one reason CO is consistently named in the top 5 landlord-friendly states).

And noting that the SEC “has claimed sweeping authority, but refuses to provide any rules, let alone consistent or coherent ones.”Got it?

It's about a three and a half hour drive from the Bay Area and has seen steady and consistent growth, even through the market fluctuations that other areas of the state have seen over the past few years. 

I would also need assistance with building the right team, which consist of a great lender, realtor (that has experience w/out of state investors) property manager, contractors, etc.Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

@Eduard Gibert Renart - Interest-only notes would produce a consistent yield.Another strategy is to buy discounted notes.

Thus, adding any amount of interest on a second is irrelevant if you lose everything.We know a few who specialize in seconds and consistently lend behind us.

Yes you can as long as your father will live in the home as his primary residence and you put enough down to cover your portion of the loan that VA will not guarantee.Here are the VA guidelines for calculating the down payment.VA calculates the guaranty as described in the table below.Step Action1 Divide the total loan amount by the number of borrowers.2 Multiply the result by the number of veteran-borrowers who will beusing entitlement on the loan.There is usually only one veteran borrower, in which case the resultof this Step is the same as the result of Step 1.3 Calculate the maximum potential guaranty on the portion of the loanarrived at in Step 2 (as if that portion was the total loan).Use the maximum guaranty table in section 4 of chapter 3 of thishandbook.4 VA will guarantee the lesser of:• the maximum potential guaranty amount arrived at in Step 3, or• the combined available entitlement of all veteran-borrowers.5 VA makes a charge to the veteran-borrower’s available entitlementin the amount of the guaranty.If more than one veteran is involved, VA divides the entitlementcharge equally between them if possible.

Make sure to define your requirements and screen all candidates consistently.

You need consistent income. 5 units is not enough to keep you afloat especially with your situation.

Demand has stayed consistent this year and end of year has been crazy busy with tax depreciation purchases or value add.
