Often times you can nip problems in the bud if you check up on your properties periodically and make sure tenants are abiding by the terms of the rental agreement during the course of their tenancy. 

I'm not sure they will cash flow positively, but you do have high demand in southern cal, so depending on area it may be a good investment for holding for a shorter period of time - say 1-5 years.Without knowing anything else about your situation, such as your true experience in construction, knowledge of surrounding areas, the assets you have available to use or your local team, I would just say that you may be able to do both.Lastly, if a company makes things sound super easy - like you have no work to do as an investor and sit back in your easy chair waiting for the rent check to come in - you need to slow down before buying.

Under ideal circumstances they will undoubtedly be a big improvement over last-minute changes to a HUD-1 and to mortgage documents at the closing table.But there’s a catch – when certain changes to closing documents become necessary after August 1, 2015 another 3-day waiting period kicks-in.Closings that drag on for several hours are one thing, but closings delayed by 3 days, and possibly another 3 days, and yet another 3 days… that’s another thing entirely.Delayed closings invariably lead to more calculation and documentation changes, which lead to more delayed closings, etc.To understand how the new law changes the buying and selling of real estate all over America, take a look at the new disclosure forms.
