@Vincent E peters what you are referring to is called "Split Entitlement" and it's my favorite topic.1.

Go to your favorite flooring store and ask for the commercial warranty. 10 Years or less.

Do you have a favorite lesson or information you'd want to share? 

I am new to real estate investing and looking to learn more about different methods of generating leads.Do you look at on-market or off-market properties? Do you use an agent, cold call, etc.? I’d love to hear about it.

A technically build-able in CA is still an expensive gamble.

Check out my personal favorite, Set For Life by Scott Trench , or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey.3.

What is your most favorite fan? 

For me that eliminates me having to be a landlord from 1000+ miles away and I don't have to manage contractors, because that is honestly one of my least favorite activities ever. 

ThanksMy personal favorite is Yardi Voyager 7S.AppFolio has come a long way but very costly.Buildium is good for startup to mid-size. 

A good quality structure built by a Master Builder will stand the test of time, vs. a scrap of paper, or an entry in a data base, based on how much the next person will pay for it.You can add value to structure and collect rents even in the bad times.Where people run into trouble is when they borrow too heavily, and the bank takes the "Still Valuable" asset from them.With a stock, it's a roulette wheel gamble, as to how much it will be worth at any given time.
