I'm not sure any other state has this golden property tax deal.So, first try looking at investing in an area of CA you hadn't thought of before.  

Mom/dad gets a place to live in their golden years, which is something you might have needed to pay for any-damn-ways except this way it isn't one of those abusive dictator nurse places, and X years from now your reward is that you have a new rental property that you only had to put 5% down on.

People who come here illegally are often good hardworking people looking for a chance it's the people bringing them here you have to worry about elements of organized crime and generally scumbags willing to exploit the weaknesses of our great country....If they pay rent your golden if they don't they will probably be easier to evict since there not likely to go through a legal process and will probably just leave quietly but good luck 

If you find the ones that are, that's golden, because it gives you yet another exit strategy.Now, the deal...Great area.  

@Thiago Lima according to the Boston Globe in 2014 there were approximately 75,000 agents in Massachusetts with 4,571 new agents added last year.The best way that I see, to make money as an agent, is to List someone's property for sale or split broker property you personally Buy or Sell.

I also told my tenants that if I rent to someone that they refer to me, I'd give them a $100 rent credit.Tenants called me often to ask about openings.Plus, students planning to come to the area, will see the ad and call and ask to rent when they arrive - AKA the golden "waiting list."

I have two tenants who have been with me - one for 4 years and the other for 7 years- We have been through tough times here in my locale and there have been many empty units- I have these tenants in single family homes and they pay each month- Golden tenants.I have not ever raised their rent and my insurance and taxes have gone up and I find myself with a .05 return  per year- I think I am behind the times for similar properties by $100/month

I'm a believer in the Golden Rule and apply that uniformly also.For whenever people of the nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves.  

Just be professional and follow the golden rule in life.

There is only so much money coming into the tenant's possession each month and the landlord can only take so much of that or you will kill the golden goose.
