@Gregory Banks I can offer some practical advice and referrals.

I suggest you start out by meeting like minded people and here is a link to a local meetup in the OC: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1225233-ocre...Good Investing...

Some old Milwaukee sewer laterals have tree roots that like catch on to stuff.We also eliminate garbage disposals during rehab and normally we have someone from our team check out issues, before we send a plumber.

It is growing like a weed and there plenty of growth left to be had. 

I lived in LA for a decade and we have many friends, family, clients and community members suffering and send our sincerest condolences to all of those experiencing and affected this tragedy. 

It took more time and back and forth communication than was needed, and compared poorly with other refinancings we have gone through.

And just confirmed by another BP member:

The previous Tenant left the place dirty, and several rooms need new paint.

I am new here just trying to learn and gain knowledge to start buying my own rentals
