I have only had crickets from my original post on this subject, so if anyone is reading this, and knows a better way to find what I'm looking for, it would be greatly appreciated!

As I'm sure you know, it's important you view your tenants as business transactions- make expectations clear, and outline everything in your agreement they will be responsible for and penalties if they do not hold their end up.I agree if you ask for too much, they may pass- but it's unlikely (as long as your asks are reasonable), considering the eagerness and need from renters- and they are used to providing most of this with other managers and landlords.

Looking forward to a discussion around this subject.

I am looking to start acquiring properties via creative financing like subject to, lease option etc.

I ask because I’m looking to buy an apartment in Oakland, CA to live in at first, but I’d like to rent it out eventually and ideally not have it be subject to rent control.

If you want to do buy-and-hold or BRRRRs, then there are 2 options for that refi portion - refi the subject property, or refi your primary residence.

@Hunter Heimer Quick suggestion would be to read @Brian Burke's book, and also @James Kandasamy's book on the subject.
