History and social opinion of neighborhoods, often a poor property may not pop up on criminal statistics, poor school ratings or districts, or other data.

I’d see if anyone was on probation or parole, maybe check criminal history and go from there.

My advice, buy them off now with cash for keys before it turns into 9 months of legal fighting and delays resulting in foreclosure for you.California hates landlords and the courts do their best to delay evictions as much as possible.One by one you will be accused of being a slumlord,racist,sexist,homophobic,and just plain criminal and the liberal judges will eat it up even though they can't prove anything.Every charge against you will result in 60 days of free rent while waiting to get into a courtroom and argue your defense.This is why I will never own rental property in "Blue States"!!

I will only do 1-1 showing for a fully qualified applicant(application, income, credit and criminal background check).

In discussions with the seller on the assignable deal, they want to make sure we're not selling it to criminals, something that is is of great concern to his neighbors.

I have never had a break in attempt or any significant criminal event on my property.
