If you've been reading up on wholesaling, then you know you can use several strategies to find deals such as direct mail, bandit signs, driving for dollars or searching sites online like For Sale By Owner or Zillow.  

Some units are sold individually as condos and he owns the rest.

This is legal under Costa Hawkins and I'm comfortable taking on the lease individually, but am not sure how to explain the situation to new housemates.

You will have to do more individual research for that but that might solve your problem entirely.

Here are a few ideas on how you can free up you and your wife's time:1) Online portal for all rent payments and maintenance requests (this way everything is organized and handymen can be notified immediately what work is needed to be done and why)2) Set up online billing if you have not done so already, with recurring payments or automatic payments. 3) Hire a virtual assistant(s) to answer calls, make calls, and do other work that anyone can do. 4) Keep track of how you spend your time currently so you know what changes to make first that will have the biggest impact.Thanks!

Where can I find a "Real Estate Tax Account Number" online for my property
