Some people do believe that you cannot evict in winter.

I've heard more than a few horror stories about people who lost everything doing just that. 

We need to close in 1 week and worst case I may need to buy all cash and refi to a different lender losing my property inspection fee the lender charged.Is this a townhouse or condo?

I was losing money every month and was done managing the property.

If you don't want to manage the property at all, you are losing money on the management when small scale management is not hard at all with a little help.

Are you able to use it easily, only with a HELOC.If you lose your tax deductions, then Uncle Sam is happy to take more of your money each year.Good Investing...

By your own admission, you are losing money.

Most people are not rich there, look at the cars. 

I see landlords lose thousands, even tens of thousands, making rookie mistakes that they could have avoided with a little education up front.Once the first property is under contract, start again for the second.

1) Yiu REALLY need to know what CA will  allow you to do, I don’t know, but the state may say too bad landlord, you lose. 2) Assuming your attorney (Or you if you’re able to decode the laws that relate to your situation and are willing to go to court in front of a judge against a “sick” kid.) think you have the right to collect the rent I’d give them two options.
