Now it has CA code that protects them from jurisdictions that could advocate for their removal which would result in less safe units being available.It is an interesting dilemma especially if after the initial law they pass a subsequent law extending the dates.  

Rents have softened, though, and currently experiencing an extended vacancy in one.The advice you're hearing here is sound. 

I worry about a renter with a good rental history being to cheap to put anything in but his grandmas avocado green range, cause it still "works".Not providing appliances in my area would also be a bad plan causing extended vacancies.

Hi all, I have personally been using CABIs to extend my lending capital. 

My figures are below.TaxDeed Winning Bid: $489.00 (My Bid May 2013)Property Clean-up: $450.00 (mowing, trash removal)Taxes & Insurance: $80.00 (2013 & 2014)Sale Advertising: $130.00 (Signage, Newspaper Ads, etc)Filings & Legal Fees: $245.00 (Deed, Lien Releases, Sales Agreement Docs)Total Costs: $1395 (approx)Sold for: $3250.00 (August 2014)That is better than the 25% I would have received if the property was redeemed during the redemption period.

.: Quote from @James Hamling:Fraud for property generally involves material misrepresentation or omission of information with the intent to deceive or mislead a lender into extending credit that would likely not be offered if the true facts were known. 

. $300k loan needs to show $15k liquid assets, and draws typically require you to pay contractors and obtain a lien release before you can be reimbursed for the money you paid contractor.While I know there are a lot of people who use low money down loans to get started, it is risky.  

Actually, a friend once mentioned a unit in Eugene that had to be re-leased after a nasty storm tore off part of the roof.. it’s gritty, hands-on stuff like that which rounds out your perspective.At the end of the day, you don’t need a flawless blueprint to get started.

Again, assuming you are looking at groups that do larger deals, there is almost always a press release and it will note who the buyer and/or seller is.  

This week I just released my episode on making offers in Memphis on investment properties.
