Chris,For non owner occ loans in CA or commercial loans if you wish to pool investors one way to do it is through a CA RE Broker who can legally fractionlize a single property into 10 or less co lenders as to thier % interest in said loan. 

You can see if your garage can make a legal ADU perhaps by getting permits from the county/city.

It is a situation where no lease exists, and you must comply with state and local law as specific to your locationIn my case I would give them a 30-day notice of rent increase and to sign a new lease.

It's specific demographic cities.

I can share some really good data on specific locations to buy and stay away from.

Question… How in depth does the course get on fix & flips and also specifically generating leads?

However, it's not specifically designed for real estate or for property management aspects so you would have to note balances of tenants manually on the back end. 

My question is can I legally keep their security deposit?

As for the financing, it’s always tougher to try to match a deal with a specific lender, rather than find a lender that matches the deal you want to pursue.
