What kind of management fee are you charging?

I do not know of 1 jurisdiction who has any kind of "bar" to subletting.

Your name would not go on anything, just need someone to review and advise on best course(s) of action.Also, not sure if there are nuances with California but experience with that state would be a plus as a noticed this: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/reporting-like-kind-exc...Thx!

Be kind to yourself and take a minute to be proud of the progress and good decisions up to this point.

I want to get into real estate and want to be realistic on what kind of return is involved.

Hi @Anthony Jasmine — Welcome to BiggerPockets.Thanks for your kind words and comments.

I would look at it as managing the owner's expectations and seeing what kind of capital expenses they are comfortable with.

I rode around and managed to find a few people working on rehabs and found out who they were renting to, rents they were getting, and one guy was kind enough to walk me through his rehab project.

Another option could be to talk with the local cable provider to see what kind of marketing package they will offer. 

Cons: - I think property tax rates are kind of high.
