That group really keeps people up to date on landlord law and also upcoming legislation that may affect landlords. 

I'm uncertain whether such an analyst exists and whether it's worth spending whatever it would cost to have this analysis done.

Yay for the unintended consequences of well-meaning legislation. 

Additionally, in many jurisdictions there are regulatory/legislative restrictions on when you can disturb the tenants.I always figured, if I'm looking to drop $500K to +$1M on a small to mid-sized apartment building, I can make myself available for an hour or two during the week.... and as @Jeff Kehl indicated, if you've done all your homework and deem a property worth a walkthrough, you've probably already submitted a LoI to the Vendor.

Hi Johnny,If you want to know about the foreclosure process and you don't have an attorney to help you, go to the statues that the legislator has created, it's free, read the process, its simply the matter or sending the right letters with the right information. 

The legislation requires the O-Fund set up be a new one (e.g. no repurposing something you've already got), 90% of the monies need to be invested in an O-Zone,  gains must be rolled into an O-Fund w/in 6 months of the gain occurring (ordinary income does not qualify), the O-Zone property needs to be one that is used in a trade or business (which would include rental housing, but not unimproved land).  

My lease says, in no uncertain words, "Tenants are required to let me know, in writing, 60 days prior to the end of their lease if they're staying.

Hello,I have been investor of single family but my future plans were uncertain so always stayed in rental house myself :( Now, I decided to settle down in Folsom, CA but as usual, price is looking too high. 

A statewide ballot measure is in the works to repeal the restriction, after legislation to do so failed last month.The notice of intent compels the city clerk’s office to prepare a ballot title and summary that could be used when petitions are circulated.

I've also heard about the legislation.
