I recommend you go to the source and educate yourself on all the landlord-tenant laws, particularly in an increasingly regulated state like Colorado.Here's a good starting point: https://doh.colorado.gov/landlord-rights-and-responsibilitie...

I also understand that some cash buyers, unlike many of those motivated by greed, are honest and knowledgeable, however I find it difficult to identify them.

unfortunately, I think you are right - it's a difficult market for investors, period. 

In your market it is difficult to find mulit family RE that was recently built and reasonably priced. 

@Diego L.That's a loaded question that is difficult to answer on a public forum.

It would actually be a net PROFIT given the huge increase to tax revenues. 

California owners, should we increase our coverage, which should result in higher premiums?  

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are an increasingly popular way to generate additional rental income on an existing property.

And the exit strategy with RE is much more difficult if you buy a property doesn't align with your goals.I completely agree with getting reps in real life, walking properties, talking to contractors and investors.

Also keep in mind as time goes on typically your yield will increase because of the rent growth.
