Any suggestions on how to ease the transition for the tenants?

Where I see myself post graduation is starting off by living with my parents for a year to save up some wealth then moving into a live-in flip and then transition to either flipping homes or renting out multifamily properties.  

CA is a bit of a tougher place for the use of entities (which are great for protection and can also take care of the transition issues you're talking about) because of the high tax on LLCs.

I would go with vinyl in the kitchen then transition to laminate for the other rooms.

San Francisco is REALLY expensive so my interest is in the up and coming cities close by that are connected to SF via BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit).

I'm hearing about transit expansion plans and with an ear to the ground, finding buyers grabbing adjacent property to the right-of-ways - - very similar to the growth from the Transcontinental Railway.In the Great Northwest, growth by Boeing & Microsoft have large impacts, while contractions in business create 'fire sales'.Follow the jobs.

Then I can leave and transition into my new home after land is located and purchased and the build is complete.
