So far, I've rated Evergreen and FCI lowest based on a number of reviews on different platforms that have consistent negative reviews mentioning certain specific issues that I find concerning (this is after accounting for the inevitable disgruntled customer/borrower who gets unjustifiably upset).Are you able to share any of your information?  

Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

- FYI: it's only illegal to try to rent it out, the property owner can usually legally live in a nonconforming basement unit.If you do all this you may still negatively cashflow each month, so make sure your income can cover and/or your cash reserves.If you do this successfully, you will learn more in 1-2 years than you would reading here on BP for 5+ years:)Good luck:)

A SFH in a neighborhood with HOA or owner occupant neighborhoods your rental property can stand out in a negative way because tenants don't waste their money watering the yard. 5.  

Thanks for the colleague request.The concept of TDR is fairly simple and straightforward.

, misc.You are in different reality if you believe you are not negative on that property

Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

You want a hustler, not a top performer, if you want check-ins.I appreciate the candor and would definitely agree that my framework is all in theory until I can get a proof of concept for these out of state deals.I like your idea of pushing my boundaries in CA.

The only problem with selling while occupied is that I have a huge negative cash flow.

For example a 25 y o applicant who has used credit minimally and has an unpaid bill of $50 in collections from when they switched phone carriers may have a low score, but the only negative on their credit is this one SMALL $50 debt.
