From what I read this is not a good choice investment wise since the prices are really high (~700K).  

BP provides alot of free information & there a litany of good books to read on the subject.

It's great to have you here.Here are some recommendations for you:Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/m...Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/a...Read Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/r...Check out BP Money Podcast: https://www.biggerpockets.com/..Wishing you the best!

(I have been consistently reading on here and am truly amazed at the wealth of knowledge and guidance so freely shared with each other regardless of their experience!)

Read up on Prop 19. 

Read this HUD guideline document for more info. 

Then, there are other people who are quite sophisticated with their structures and choose to invest money on the structure (you'll hear references to Trusts)...and then you'll have people talk about piercing the veil....and you'll hear some people say that as long as you have enough insurance, you are fine....and others will say that you have to be careful about relying on insurance to protect in all matters.

Be careful about talking to the agents here.

They can be great just be careful though how you use the line. 

it simply cannot be done by anyone except and owner operator that is local collects rent in person etc etc I dont care what anyone says..
