One property went for almost $100,000, before increased interest in real estate investing, that property would have sold for a high of $50,000 maybe less. 

I ask to take a walk through and document the current condition as my agreement states they can not damage the property during this process. and of course don't give them anything until you have walked through verified they are out and have voluntarily handed over keys. 

That way I still have a primary residence and rental properties. 

Is the process the same as buying property in Canada?

However, I'm in the middle of a cash-out refinance of an investment property I already own.

Focus on absentee owners and start with the ones who live the farthest away and only own one property in the area since they have the least use for the property.You can also drive for dollars, looking for anomalies of disrepair and then look them up in the tax records and use a site like Spokeo to do cheap skip tracing.

If the property manager uses a payment app integrated with the property management software to collect rent for the landlord, this is not gross income for the property manager.

@Chris CoreCan’t find a rental property to cashflow?

In fact, some of the best opportunities in real estate come from properties that others overlook—distressed homes with potential that just need the right investor to bring them back to life.If you’ve been in the game long enough, you know that distressed properties can offer huge upside, but they also come with their own set of challenges.

I'm wondering if you can help advise on this situation.My mother currently resides in a property located in Los Angeles County.
