But during the buyer’s due diligence, several unexpected issues surfaced, each cutting deeper into the profit I had worked years to earn.The first issue was with the water lines.

Be certain you've fully evaluated your cash flow by doing a cash flow analysis.I leave it to you to confirm you've taken in consideration the following potential costs: CapEx, maintenance, property management, water, sewer, trash, vacancy, turnover, taxes, insurance, etc.

We are still only in the beginning stages of this upswing as Windsor started far below intrinisic value as there was an excessive drop in prices from the 08 crises that lasted for a decade.Hope this helps!

A water heater replacement is $1500, AC Unit $8,00011.

Might have a tenant that will sign a ten year lease and drop some money into the space.

How is water, sewer, electric and hvac distributed and located?  

A lot of Californians moved to AZ and TX, but as significant as the numbers are it's only a drop out of a very large bucket.

It didnt affect the loan because of the divorce decree, but it completely wrecked the borrower's credit score - dropped it 130 points from high 700s to mid 600s- because the mortgage still reports on his credit report and was showing as a mortgage late. 

Her husband is on lease still, if I give him x days couldn't he just go take all valuables in that time frame it just sucks because I can't separate them from the apartment because apartment is full of stuff, basement is filled and garage is filled, like I said he is having a dumpster dropped off Tuesday,, so I'll have to allow access 

Unfortunately - my current lot for my primary is 1 acre and VERY sloped, and close to a water source (creek), so the county has not even allowed me to permit my downstairs finished basement without an extremely costly renovation to our septic (over $60,000, and that doesn't count demo'ing and replacing our driveway to get to the existing tank and leachfield), and even if I could permit it, it would essentially need to be a treehouse in the redwoods due to the slope (not a bad idea though, I would actually love a livable treehouse on this lot!
