Newbie here to the real estate investing world, but really eager to get my feet wet.I currently live in San Jose, but am deciding to move to a cheaper location where I can get my first property.

or have the current seller provide said info. with proof of payment and or renters insurance, turnover of security deposit & first months rent which my attorney will also be collecting, With it being such a quick turn-around with their current lease expiring I want to have as much lined up as I can and be the most prepared I possibly can.Currently Still in the process of bulletproofing the new lease along with the operating and reserves accounts & setting up account/property management software.

Certain suburbs don't have many options for multifamily, so you might have to open your search to other locations.

By acquiring multifamily properties at favorable cap rates and leveraging growth projections, investors can secure attractive returns over the long term.While multifamily real estate may be facing tough times in the short term, there are promising opportunities on the horizon for investors who can navigate the challenges effectively.

And you want to be in a good location.

Real estate taxes vary depending on location and property type, but they typically fund local services like schools, roads, and emergency services.

Where is your property located?

Do I have to tell him or can I just deduct the removal and replacement fees from his security deposit?  

One idea that I have been pondering is buying a plot of land in a relatively good location with high odds of appreciation then placing a prefab house on top of it.

---Our standard copy & paste about this is below, hope you find it useful:)Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.
