Quote from @John Paul Palace: Our plan was to invest locally, however our market here is tough.

As a first time and out of state investor, my top priorities for this first investment were (1) a property that would be quick to rent (as I didn’t have other properties to offset extended vacancy rates), and (2) a very strong local PM team that RTR had extensive success with.

Property is on an acre lot so units are separated and very private making it a great house hack.Located next to Benderson Park which makes it a great location for STRing the guest house.

You could also check out options like Cozy or TenantCloud for similar features.When converting to LTR, just keep an eye on local rental laws, lease terms, and any rent control rules that might apply.

I'm wondering if you can help advise on this situation.My mother currently resides in a property located in Los Angeles County.

Cracking and structural problems occur because the sinking of the home is not being 100% distributed but usually only localized causing an imbalance. 

But being a local it seems like the prices are only going higher. 

Connecting with local investors and agents can also help you identify the best markets that fit your goals.Good luck!

Where is the property located?

Crew Enterprises has halted distributions on Apex South Creek DST located in Tampa.
