Although many normally in-person groups are temporarily virtual, there are definitely still a lot of meetings out there.

When I spoke with them first time, they say it will take 1-2 weeks but it is already passed 1week and we haven't start any minor fix for the rent.I am not sure if it is normal.

I don't think in a normal state they would have a chance....but as you said, you're in Cali.

Be advised, I am very high maintenance and will require you to be on call at all hours, especially if I wake up in the middle of the night and want someone to talk to.

Finished basements add value but approximately what it costs to finish them unless they are just like upstairs rooms with lots of natural light and doorways, normal ceiling heights, and you can add baths or bedrooms.

Thats an example of finding a smart way to increase your cashflow, ROI, etc. faster than just by normal appreciation or doing the obvious stuff like putting in vanities. 

You will normally need 20% down to get into this loan type. 

@Justin G.You will receive a K-1 from the syndication reporting your share of income/losses.If the K-1 is received prior to April 15th, you have the opportunity to file a timely filed return.if the K-1 is expected after April 15th, you will be required to file an extension for your individual return.Depending on where the K-1 invests and the amount of your investment, you may be expected/required to file in multiple states.You may have some tax decisions to make during the period when the syndication plans to exit(normally 5 to 7 years).

Visit all the sites you would normally visit if you were looking for housing.

If it takes much more than 10 years to pay it back (after factoring in my normal cash flow) I don't consider it.
