We live in San Jose and would like to ideally start our first project that is closer to us.

Chances are, the living arrangements and property use is not as it was supposed to be.If the money is good, set a lease with extra provisions for the dope house cleanup when the tenant leaves.You can't charge for the plants, but you can charge for uncommon use of the property.

Hi BP, Looking into selling a rental property in NY and 1031'ing it into a property in the Raleigh area (where I currently live).
