Can you make the payments on the mortgages while renting, even though you are under water?

You would calculate an even payment the corresponds to that and then back into your sales price and term.

@Joey Morgan if your client wants you to write subject to the existing mortgage, likely best to contact listing agent first and ask if seller is even interested, can save a lot of time if not.

That said, renters insurance absolutely should be mandated because it's NOT just for the tenant and many tenants don't even realize what it covers. 

Several years ago, even with high cash flow from a business, I felt fairly locked out of the places I wanted to purchase due to endlessly rising prices and rates that required constant underwriting revisions to the point where it wasn't worth the time expense. 

Does that mean I should look for a approved by CA stamp, even for a US/canada modular provider? 

If I was to rent it out I would break even or maybe even have a slightly negative monthly cash flow.

That's even more important at these lower price points because these markets will have different challenges you won't see in A or B class markets.Regarding section 8, a lot of investors are leaning toward that because they think it will solve all their problems/risks.

Gross negligence refers to an act taken without exercising even the most basic amount of care owed to others, including guests and the property, itself.

Even if you have to use some steel...
