Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

1) Yiu REALLY need to know what CA will  allow you to do, I don’t know, but the state may say too bad landlord, you lose. 2) Assuming your attorney (Or you if you’re able to decode the laws that relate to your situation and are willing to go to court in front of a judge against a “sick” kid.) think you have the right to collect the rent I’d give them two options. 

It was actually his idea that I worked for him.Sometimes it's better to just do what your gut tells you at that moment rather than to sit and think. 

HI @Kayla M.Kudos to you for thinking about real estate investing while being in college!

I think your questions are a bit to general and you are going to get even more general responses.

I don't think we are going to be able to come up with $50K before they're going to need to move and no, definitely no family members able to gift $50K. 

Stay consistent with follow-ups, sharing updates on new opportunities.Pro Tip: Host a webinar or in-person event to connect with potential lenders and answer their questions.Why It Works:Credibility and transparency make lenders more comfortable investing in your deals.What Do You Think?

I'm trying to structure a deal for the seller but the real estate agent won't submit my offer to the seller because they don't think the offer is beneficial for the seller.

The condo I'm selling in CA could sell for approximately $600k, and I was thinking of rolling that into 2 condo/townhomes valued at about $250k each, then doing DST for the remaining around $100 for the 1031.

Hi Kana - I think it depends on your budget of course.
