I don't really want to have anybody planting a garden - weeding and mulching won't happen, since getting the grass cut is sometimes more than one can ask.I have supplied a lawn mower - the manual kind for smaller yards (no motor whatsoever), and an electric mower for a larger yard (and I don't supply a power cord, just a GFCI protected outdoor receptacle).

I would add that if you have no landlord experience whatsoever you might be better served be starting with a smaller property and work your way up to a foreclosure.You mention that the property is a foreclosure, but you didn't mention how many units are vacant.

I do not plan on making a living out of this whatsoever.

The 5 crew claimed they could pass some savings on to me, but their quote was a single number with no breakdown whatsoever...

Trying to deal with BoA is the equivalent to pulling teeth with tweezers it's just not worth the headache.

Any roommate with no guarantor has no motivation whatsoever to pay rent.

Rociel, its a bit like pulling teeth to get info from you on this.

Currently I own no rentals in CA whatsoever.

No regrets here, whatsoever!

No RE experience whatsoever, and just started reading, asking questions and building a business plan.As for financing, I fund about 50% of my deals myself and fund the other 50% using a mix of private lenders, portfolio lenders and hard money lenders (but negotiated below hard money rates).
