I’m also considering advising my tenant to look into Section 8 assistance, as it could help support their financial situation while allowing me to adjust the rent closer to market levels.

For example, I’m currently assisting a municipality in purchasing a 200-unit complex that cash flows, ensuring long-term stability for their housing needs.Our Program’s Unique ApproachOur organization is specifically geared toward the Native American population—a demographic that often faces significant systemic challenges.

Any law that tries to do otherwise conflicts with sb13 and ab2533 (unless the unpermitted units was created post dates of protection by those laws).i agree he should get it permitted especially if close to the price quoted, but issues due to unpermitted units that are protected be sb13 and/or ab2533 present minimal risk and if it does happen get HCD to assist in any issues. 

I feel like it would be great to trust a property management company on all of this, but it would be hard not to step in if you could do a better job at screening bad tenants (eg screening HUGE future problems).I initially managed properties myself, but now I delegate that responsibility to my business partner, personal assistant, or a property manager at my brokerage.Most PMs I know will send you an applicant for final approval and you can get on the phone with them and ask them questions

Good question to ask when screening a PM is if they are real estate investors themselves.If you want a PM to be proactive or knowledgeable on where/when to add value (asset management assistance), find one that is an investor.

If you need assistance in flipping a property, or really any job an inexperienced person can do, I am very interested for any exposure I can get to real-estate investing.

There may be some nuances to your situation, but, we have definitely assisted others living abroad.Cheers!

We were looking for something in San Jose Del Cabo, because it is a popular destination for digital nomads and remote workers.

Let me know if I can be of assistance to you.

But please for the love of all that is good, plan your exit strategy with their property management, because that has been a giant dud for me and do not see it getting any better should they continue the hands-off, digital approach to placing & managing tenants.
