RE is a religion in CA full stop !!! 

With the services they provide I feel that they would be a really great one stop shop but I was hoping that the people here with infinitely more experience than I could weigh in on this.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies that spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

QuestionI stopped by and look like the property is vacant Can I get inside legally and just make it ready for rent it out and move forward?

There are still restrictions on setbacks from property lines, but local zoning and HOAs can no longer stop you based on the state law. 

When a tenant stops paying you, they stop paying those utilities and the bills add up fast.

You should stop by the Cash-Flow Breakfast club in Moco, great community/networking for real estate investing.

I'll make a long story as short as possible:> House built in 2008, first owners used husbands VA loan to secure (220k loan), stopped paying HOA and bank shortly thereafter (current payoff 500k+). 

Nor anybody, this list is not viable nor realistic. 1) In AppFolio they want admin level access to their account.NO, full-stop.

My insurance currently covers this until the unit is rebuilt, with the rebuild expected by November 2024.The Big Question:Once the rebuild is complete, the insurance payments will stop, and I'll need to find a renter.
