I will be happy to help you and your husband throughout the loan process let me know when will be a good time to chat. 

However, they are not familiar with the process of being private lenders.

We have found it best to follow a strict eviction process with rare exceptions. 

They also use conservative leverage, and put huge skin in the game in every deal (10% or more).

Though, this process will be the same for the other state (if you created a CA LLC you may need to register it as a foreign LLC in the state in which you are doing business/holding property).

Ask the manager to explain their process for dealing with maintenance, late rent, evictions, turnover, etc.

Always ask about the loan process and what to expect, as some lenders can operate differently than others.

In my market, there just isn't a huge demand for insurance displacements or other niches that have need for 3 bedrooms and are willing to pay for that extra space. 

This can also help familiarize yourself on the manual process before deciding what the best automated / scaled process is.

I don't know the process for putting it on their credit history, but guessing small claims court would be part of the process.Do you have the keys and know that they moved out?
