@Dave AllenRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Are you talking about applying for a mortgage in the US?

You can I would just watching to not to apply too many places. 

To remedy that, the carpets should be ripped up and sealant applied to the subfloor, at minimum.There are also tiles in the smaller upstairs bathroom that are lifting up and creating a safety hazard; putting a rug on top is not a sufficient solution.The house is in a condition that materially interferes with the health of household members.

AB1482 applies to your existing house unless it is newer than 15 years old and may apply to your ADU, seeing it is a garage conversion, if the garage is over 15 year old.

Would it apply to a lender who was collecting a debt owed to itself before it fell into default? 

It’s simply a place to start your own research or to give to your attorney if you need to find out if it applies…https://amihousebuyers.com/selling/disclosure/#:~:text=Key%2....Do you have to disclose water damage when selling a house?

If they don't know how to screen and get the horrible tenant, they apply it to all.

When you do that groups of people will apply, rather than random individuals.
