"How do I get started in CA?"

There’s actually quite a few investors from California making purchases over here. 

Today this would be possible in high priced markets were your average loans are more in the 500k range so only 10 a month.. like CA  NJ  Denver and ski areas . 

My tenants lease is due to end 2/2/2025, is it 30 day notice or 60 day notice of non renewal in CA?

While none of these options allow for immediate cash flow on the property (we are on the northern CA coast) the ARMS would allow us to break even.

there are so many threads on BP from folks in NYC or CA or DC who bought a property in a "low cost" market and immediately regretted it:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1010977-12-00...i provide this information not to discourage you, but so that you can learn from what they did without making the same mistakes.  

How do you buy a property one day for 40k put nothing into it and sell it for 80 the next day.. some one is getting screwed :)  I get the math I get wrapping the notes my family had a company call CA Wrap we did hundreds of them .. now they were on vacant land as we were in the land bizz and this is much more aligned to the land business than buying homes and selling to owner occs.. 

What's the law in California if I wanted to sell my house.

For example, section 8 in California is not going to be the same as doing it in Ohio.

Long term hold 4 acres Sonoma CA bought for 27k 95  sold in 2020 2.2 mil2.
