However, because of the pandemic and Alameda County's eviction protections put in place after the California's moratorium was lifted, it seems I cannot do an owner move in eviction until "the state of local emergency is lifted" (whenever that is).

I've learned so much - bought to flip, but then the pandemic was announced like a week after closing, so I changed up my whole plan and held, and gradually repaired the home inside and out, mostly DIY but hired out a few things also.

With some guaranteed income I'd like to get started in real estate pretty quick.I graduated in 2020 right in the middle of the pandemic and had to move home.

(This area, like many others, has seen exceptional increases in home values since the start of the pandemic)Anticipated or actual appraisal issues: UnknownCurrent rents per month: N/AFair market rents per month: N/ADown payment or equity: We purchased the home with $80k down and $60k in owner financing (Approx. $54k balance on the owner financing portion).

This is much higher than i was paying pre-pandemic, monthly payments approx $1000.00.

There is still room to grow in these markets, especially for STR which are all booked all the time since the pandemic.

Shortly before the pandemic a study was released.
