After all, you are an agent of the owner, not an independent store owner.

I signed up for one of the Wealthability online classes.  

At the initial B.O.H. inspection to bring the unit back on-line they determined how many occupants I was allowed.Good to hear you got it resolved with no issue though.

I would recommend first reading The Ultimate Beginner's Guide I know you are not beginners but there's something in there for just about everyone.http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingSecond, go the the BP Store and buy the two books by J Scott, The Book on Flipping Houses and The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs.

See also http://www.bsc.ca.gov/Home.aspx since it looks like a lot of CA specific code is online.

May be new washing machine hoses, may be all brand new drawer pulls, or a new microwave...whatever.So this year I picked up a couple of dozens of USB wall receptacles from an online sale, and I noticed everyone likes to charge their tablets and phones on the kitchen counter.

They charge a $40 flat fee to assess the situation, then go to the hardware store, buy supplies, and fix the problem that day charging a per hour rate plus the actual cost of supplies.

While you can meet those requirements online, I would recommend attending live courses - they are great networking opportunities.

While neither are specific to one MSA/location, and each have a bit of extra stuff in them (ITB includes a bit of home DIY store stocks), they should be directionally correct in case of a big downturn.

You should be able to look the owner up online.
