I have a buddy that's very successful in D Class areas.He drives around all day putting out fires, getting in literal fist fights from time to time, throwing people out of their apartments or changing locks when they leave, constantly breaking the law because they are "civil matters" and he knows the tenants won't come after him, and shaking folks down for late rent.I'm sure folks in A Class areas are doing the same, right?

I was curious if anyone had insights on my scenario:Parents are living apart, yet still file federal taxes as 'married', but file individual state returns.

Originally drafted to prevent landlords from using security deposits for cleaning or repairs, the bill was amended after opposition from the California Apartment Association (CAA).Landlords will now need to photograph rental units before tenants move in, at the end of the lease, and after repairs or cleaning.

I'm considering purchasing an apartment building (over 20-unit) and using the Section 8 strategy.

I'm hoping to get into long-term rentals with apartment buildings or multi-family properties.

Could be apartments, warehouses, strip malls, etc.

I'm looking for help finding a mid-term rental co-host agreement template.Backstory: I recently co-sponsored a 10 unit apartment syndication in San Antonio, TX.

I can’t find anyone who will do a second on the rental anyway, I have found a HELOC — I was debating at least shifting the construction loan over to the rental, but at 5% that still seems like a wash.I’m open to doing another rental property, I just don’t know if I’m stuck because of how low the rental mortgage rate is, and with how much it cash flows — I may not be able to improve much on that situation.My wife and I both work full time, and I have a part time second job to make it all work.  

It's like the old Yogi Berra quote, "I wouldn't want to be a part of any club that would have me as a member."

Fortunately, the folks referenced in this post are no longer a part of the HomeVestors network.
