In my HML company days back in Oakland CA. 

Under this idea, you'd need to see if the Health dept has any restrictions for your septic system (which i assume you have) and if the power company would meter the 2nd unit separately. 

It's not a great pickup for a property management company as you know. 

As we have 100+ year old trees on the property, as well as a pond and year round stream, I think it could also be used for a tiny-home or tiny-office (commercial) community, which would allow me to maintain control of my property long term and providing recurring revenue to me (my company). 

All the companies you mention are primarily turnkey companies.

It might take a couple of years for you to really be in a place to go on your own, but a mentorship, internship, or even just getting hired at a larger flipping company would be a huge value to you just getting into this all!  

There are multiple billion dollar companies dumping money into the city, such as Intel, Google, Honda, and Amazon.

The title company got our pay off and somehow missed the first lien.🤔 The title company wired the whole amount to us without deducting for the first lien or even catching that there was a first lien.  

Strong property management and careful tenant placement also play a critical role in success here, so I recommend partnering with a turnkey company or an agent who specializes in these areas to make the process smoother.As for rental demand, homes that sit for extended periods are often the result of issues like pricing, condition, or tenant quality—not necessarily a reflection of the market as a whole.

Our property management company works with a lot of first-time landlords - I'm happy to help with any questions!
