Camarillo is interesting because not only do you have the outlets, but you also have CSU Channel Islands and you are a less expensive alternative to areas like Thousand Oaks. 

Anyway, as of today she forfeited her 5k deposit because she refused to close on her new property and the leaseback period has officially expired. 

It was DocuSigned by him and the title company rep, like that's supposed to make it all legal and official.

Yes, you can sell it.Sometimes Peoria will grandfather a duplex and refer to it as a "legal nonconforming" single family zoned property with duplex as permitted use.If this is the case the new owner will be able to legally and officially use it as a duplex.I have also heard of people finding an architect to declare that the house was originally built as a duplex, which would help you get it rezoned as multi-family and duplex as permitted use.PM me for more info.

And I presume that you can find good podcasts, YouTube channels, etc. - for as narrow or as wide of a net you may want to throw out for your own “real estate investing.”But if you should still have an inclination to trust some guru with a paid mentorship, I’d suggest to go above and beyond their standard contract, which will likely stipulate what you owe them in far better terms for themselves than what they owe you in return for your money: I’d ask them to stipulate - in writing - what “mentorship” your money (at each level of a “workshop”/“education” they expect you to pay for) will actually get you, and for how long.

There are other options like resilient channel when hanging drywall etc.

So I strive towards using Lodgify which is a standalone solution that hosts creating a web front, connectivity PMS Channel manager with seamless integration with air airbnb and booking.com. although the platform is very useful we are now seeking towards expanding to a new platform that can onboard us with more rental platforms، based on my research I found a channel manager by a company called Rategain, unfortunately we cannot integrate it seamlessly so the solution would've been to use automation software (Zapier) that can bridge both platforms.
