So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Payouts would have to be set up from the sellers primary Airbnb account and you would want a contract written.

Of course could be a little different but thats generally how it  all works.

Your loan would be on a different property so no financing on the property you are buying. 

It would be best to befriend a local contractor or even help one out on a job to see any differences from your past eight years doing it in another country.

There are many reasons that adding a single ADU in southern CA is a less than ideal RE investment (i will post a list at the end) but the negative initial equity is a primary reason as the initial negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow and can take many years to recover.As for converting your home to a rental….

In Las Vegas they decided it has to be away form others, have sound monitoring equipment, ban parties, AND it has to be your primary home that you live in WHILE it’s rented out .

Husband and I have 3 rental properties between us that were we lived in separately at different points before getting married.

Assuming your property is in Utah (like your profile indicates), here's the state law from a basic internet search:In Utah, a tenant who abandons a rental property without notice is liable for the lesser of the following: The rent remaining on the leaseThe rent plus the difference between the fair rental value and the agreed-upon rentThe cost to restore the property to its original conditionThe landlord can also remove the tenant's belongings and sell them if the tenant doesn't claim them within a reasonable time.
