Then, you'll run the risk of encountering the same problem you're facing in California.Flips in that area are a different story.

Has anyone ever encountered this issue?

@James Wise @Dawn Brenengen have you two ever encountered something like this?

The problem with roommate situations is that no one person will have more rights, regardless if their names are on the lease/rental agreement once residency is established, and regardless of how long one roommate has been there compared to another.When we have encountered an incompatible roommate situation, we have made it clear that they will need to work it out amongst themselves.

May I ask what "issues" you encountered with your first condo flips?

Did you encounter the same?  

and I was thinking of the following fix and flip strategy when I encounter a seller with a fixer upper:Instead of listing it at a discounted price, wholesaling or flipping it, offer to pay for the rehab out of my own pocket then listed at market/top dollar.

Hi Andrew, I like yourself encountered a similar situation and similar in how I entered into Real Estate.

Hi Jason and welcome to the community,In working on construction projects outside of my state (I'm a licensed residential contractor and SF rental owner) I have encountered that the local building codes might be amended to add any local requirements in addition to the national codes, so you want to work with a local contractor to at least give you a run down of the process and help you pull permits for any items requiring a licensed electrician, plumbing or structural work.Good luck in KS.MRod

I know it sounds crazy but this is what I have encountered.
