@Michael Kay  Mike, the RE game is much like every other market (casino) you want to "get IN and back OUT (before sitting along the sidelines and watching the fireworks drama, from a leather easy chair... until AFTER the CHTF again, before going back to work BUYING... at a hefty 'discount!') 

other wise HML in SF bay area SF to las Gatos  that would only be 5 to 7 loans a year.. not too much work.. make 8 to 9% with not a lot of drama. 

(Not trying to be harsh or overly critical, I’m just attempting to help.)

In the past there were basic restrictions on how harsh of restrictions that cities can put on property owners and mom and pop landlords.  

That way if you get roommate drama and one tenant moves out you do not have to tract them down, the remaining 3 are still responsible for the 1300. 

@Samuel Kelly I don't mean to sound harsh, but you're already WAY out of your depth. 

Drama city.....Little confused on the whole situation but...... whomever is on the lease has a contract with the landlord, and that contract dictates who has any rights to even be living in the unit.

I don't mean to be harsh about the truck as I know the pain of making payments on mine (almost done!). 

I don’t have to worry about some drama happening in one of my SFH.

Plus you'll be keeping all the drama in addition to the turnover.
