Fast forward 21 days and the police bust the apartment door in and arrest him for drug trafficking and possession of a stolen firearm as a felon (according to the newspaper).

I myself am a California native, I currently have two SFRS properties I have rented.

I house hacked in Round Lake and am a native of the area!

This is coming on the November Ballot --> "Justice for Renters Act" Can't say, as a native Californian and investor that I'm too excited about this one..It will all depend on your goals and risk tolerances.

Even though the transactions all seemed legit with underwriting - they ended up getting sued and paid huge fines and in some states had to convert the loans because they were believed to have been taking advantage of buyers, especially minority buyers.So even though something seems legal, would you want the story on the front page of the newspaper is the question we ask.

The best way to get specific info on foreclosures is through the court system if it’s a judicial foreclosure and newspapers for non judicial statesYou can pay sites for foreclosure data as well but reality is most foreclosures today do not end up foreclosing as borrowers will file bankruptcy

Being a Bay Area native I would say your list is spot on.
