Some real estate investments may be more hands off like triple net (NNN), but any residential investment requires management and maintenance to make sure your asset is going to be in good shape for the future.  

During that same time some areas of Cali doubled and tripled in value and rents.

If she has all cash she might look at an apartment complex or really from what you are describing (hands off) triple net leasing but you need a few hundred k to get going.

If this is not done, I believe it is triple damages can be awarded.

And don't give them them speech about how it will be worth double or triple or 4x as much in X years.

However, if you want to cut them in half or more, you will probably need to go to a commercial property with gross leases or better yet triple net leases where the tenant pays most (or all) of the operating expenses.

There was a glitch it tripled my post.

you will need to qualify for the house under both payments, assuming you have no other rental properties over 2 years.I did this & it worked out wonderfully. house sat vacant for 2 days, tripled the amount of space in our new home, and 6 months later a comp identical to ours appraised for $20k more.everybody on BP said not to do it. that it won't be a profitable rental cash flow wise. but it has definitely been profitable from a net worth standpoint.so far, so good (fingers crossed)!

If its really commercial, then a triple net lease at a lower rent might work.

Will I specialize in multifamily and triple net properties as a commercial principal broker.
