I've read CA government tenant guidelines stating that tenants can be evicted for breaking the non-smoking clause of a lease when smoking marijuana and a medical card do not trump the lease. 

@Brian Harker @Donald Kelley @Trent Stone @Tyler Ruff I'm ramping up to do some out of state BRRRRing really soon.

But of course practice will always trump knowledge that I've read in a book.Given this info would it be fair to ask 10% above what I am able to fund myself.

Thanks @Donald SaintVal.

@Donald Powell, what you are talking about is brokering real estate, which is illegal to do without a real estate license in all 50 states.You're not advertising a contract, you are actively looking for a property for a "client" which is 100% brokering real estate.

so in our state.. the lease trumps the foreclosure as long as its arms length and basically at market.however if your going to move into the home you can evict right away.. if not as long as the tenant honors the lease they are allowed to stay there for the duration and at the rate on the lease..but some folks did bad things by singing 5 year leases at half of market rate to their buddies or relatives those got over turned.. but it cost money.we rarely anymore bid on occupied homes in any state that has tough evictions.

Ex) if it's a seller who is already under contract or waiting to sell before buying a new home, then a cash buyer usually trumps someone who has to get a mortgage. 

That said, Trump's tax law changes have made living/owning property in CA even worse, so it make sense that the real estate market is taking a hit.

Trump, you get to write off 20% of that from your income right off the top.
