I always suggest getting a survey done, and if you have past soil sample reports even better.  

I own 6 doors and I manage over 100 properties for investors, mostly STR (Airbnb).2) I personally use S Corp for the main business and LLC for respective holdings underneath. 3) Do you have significant other assets which need liability protection?

@Kevin Auyong   it was 4 or 5 years ago  and I don't know that he went into specifics however I could surmise its the same old out of state tune... and with Texas property tax's soil conditions and lack of any appreciation in those days.. and not being local that probably added up to his desire to sell and get back into the CA.. market.Before I posted on BP I was a frequent contributor on a site in AU... and there was a running debate on Texas vs other markets..

I think you get the gist of most our opinions.If you had 25 LTRs and was thinking of testing the waters, I think that would be an acceptable risk seeing as you had a lot of experience and cash reserves.As a first investment, I personally see that as a way to lose everything you put into it and more if laws change.I don’t think California is considered to be a landlord friendly state so be prepared to have the rug yanked out from underneath you.

I found a wholesaling contract on here underneath the fileplace, is this contract ready to be used?

This is a HUGE home and I'm afraid of what I would find underneath the siding.  2.

We want to find out if the additional cost of refinishing the hardwood we found underneath the old carpet is better in the long run than having to replace carpet every so often.

At some point in the next few 1-3 need roof will need full replacement ( flat roof with alligatoring all over it, patches all over the place and you can start to see the Fiberglass membrane, underneath) Not Good!

Were at least 2 dead animal, some remains still underneath because it was really difficult to cleaned it.So, now I’m in a point that I would really like to leave this place.

We have clayey soil here, which contracts when you don't water it and foundation moves.
