Looking to learn and glean investment techniques to help solidify our potential, minimize our losses, and hopefully figure out a way to have the ability to move back to CA in the next 10 years, as CA is not a cheap or easy place to move back to. 

Glean the probate filings from your local county, or from the legal paper. 

I examine the listing to see what information I can glean. 

From your brief description I would glean that these are all tenant owned homes who pay lot rent. 

Thank you it’s truly amazing how much free ad accurate information that can be gleaned from them.

@Ernes Sahic while meeting the tenants may help you glean some information, it won’t be much, and could put you in jeopardy of fair housing violation(s), seeing their unit and the ledger for on-time payments, looking over original application and current lease, checking for police calls for service will yield much better insight, unless you see signs of an extremely bad situation, tenants are probably fine.

Excited to meet some of y’all in person at one of the local meetups and can’t wait to glean more knowledge here! 

...as you may have gleaned from my last post, I would like to use the BRRRR strategy to recoup my funds and reinvest.

I too am curious if you gleaned any wisdom from all those seminars.

It takes a bit of looking, but some valuable information can be gleaned.
