Message me and we can cover all that and where I think you'll be best served investing in our market and similar markets in Texas as well as best practices.

One of my applicants showed up with little credit but no defaults, no evictions, and only traffic violations and verified income high enough to cover well over 3 times the rent and I accepted the tenant despite there being some signs.He paid the rent in time for the most part until a few weeks ago when he stopped and I could not get ahold of him.

The best is to work with a seasoned banker who knows the system well and knows which questions to ask investors and which not to ask investors.

A 1031 exchange will allow you to sell your building and use the proceeds to invest in a small multi family and/or medium term rentals.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

So I would agree to instead get a lender that you can scale with.But it looks like you got a credit union to give you a good rate, better than most as well 

Are you focusing on local investments within LA County, or are you considering opportunities outside the area as well?

If the law allows, I will sometimes move the personal items to storage, which is much cheaper than lost rent, so I can clean up the rental and find a new tenant.

One is humid and one is dry, the types of activities to do are different in each city, take a look at where you would be the most happy as well if you're going to be living there!

I might sell some units as well.
