Myself I think if one wants to get into real estate in CA you get into the bizz you get licensed so you can legally collect fee's you put in the hard work like most wholesalers have to now..

I'd have them sign my own lease on renewal and I'd make sure I had enough information on them so I can go after them if a legal issue arises such as employer and other similar data. 

Overland Park, KS vs Kansas City, MO) Very landlord friendly, worst case eviction is usually 8 weeks + $500 + lost rent (cannot comment on individual cases and this is not legal advice) Large diverse metro area - variety of jobs, companies, people can have a career in KC.

As everyone should see from the above posts, investing in real estate, especially foreclosure and tax sales, REQUIRES a working knowledge of legal aspects that can possibly affect the purchase.  

Keeping your license and avoiding any legal issues is probably worth more than this one transaction.

For US government purposes, our legal residence is a family member's home where we stay when we are in the US.Thanks for the DSCR info.

I’d also prioritize getting pre-approved, securing financing, and starting small to build experience and momentum.Good luck!

Any idea how much legal help would cost?

My main complaint is, they appear to aim for your project ROI target by skimming as much money during PM as they legally can.

I’m going to share some of my thoughts when I talk to new investors;Are you pre approved, and for how much?
