Additionally, nearly one-third of respondents said that they considered housing affordability a Top 3 issue when deciding who to vote for.

Finally I found my Los Angeles realtor (third time's the charm) who was and is an all-star and she also sold my house for me in late-2020 when I left California. 

Choose to conduct due diligence in-house, hire a third-party company, or utilize the property management company.

The first step is to evaluate the marketing, the second step is to evaluate the condition of the home, the third step is to evaluate the price.

I don't operate in the Bay Area but from my experience operating MTRs in different markets large companies use third party placement companies or have large contracts with large housing providers.

Another option to consider is using the space for Airbnb or mid-term rentals.Here in Texas, basements aren't common, but I found a home where the third bedroom had its own entrance right off the driveway.

@Amanda G.I third or fourth the recommendation to just go there in person and I also like your plan that you're focused on the long term.If it's an option I'd pick an area 1-3 hours from you and just start putting the time in. 

Although I am relatively new to REI myself (looking for my third deal now) I am more than happy to try to answer any questions you may have and get you in touch with some of the people (realtors, lawyers, flooring guys, etc.) that I have met along the way.  

Thanks Adam .This is great .Will do what both you and John suggested .I am hoping the bank uses a third party appraiser.I assume there would be laws against them using an “in house “ appraiser..I just know they’re not going to want to gibe up getting that $250 a month from us ( PMI).Much appreciated -Christian
