Planned on probably going the Section-8 route

Purchase price: $205,000 Cash invested: $175,000 This was quite the rare deal in the South Philly neighborhood of Point Breeze, located a few blocks south of Washington Ave and 22nd St this corner property while only having a lot size of 16x64 was 2000 sqft!

BiggerPockets has a section just for this, Under the BUILD YOUR TEAM tab- Meetupshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/...Best of luck to you!

I'm looking at Section 8 or Multi family investing.

Buyers expect Sellers to cower in the corner at their amazing low offers as if they are doing the seller a favor.  

@Todd RohnEither way, I'd get super familiar with the California landlord/tenant laws, or have a lawyer that's in your corner that does know. 

I would reach out Erin Quinn or if you need other names we have a full Resource list in our Due diligence section of our Website.

That's why we are concerned...it seems like someone in these areas without state code adoption can just build a home as a homeowner, cut the corners of insurance/licensing by doing the work themselves, not have most of that work inspected, then turn around and sell as new construction instead of previously owned. 

In Texas, evicting a tenant is governed by Texas Property Code section 24 that a landlord must follow.

Cutting tiles can be a challenge if you have angle and corner pieces but a basic install isn't too hard.
