I could be wrong but I thought I saw that Sacramento requires primary residence for the owner for STR.Do you live in Sacramento or nearby ?

@Patrick Wheeler and @John BarryOne more thing that always gets me. 

The thing that would deter me from this location is a background rate of appreciation of 3.12% and low school ratings.

Everything my realtor sends me is already on Zillow and has many eyes/bids.

For the first few, having a GC work with me, I think it will allow me to get a better understanding of how to recognize scope of work.That said, how much are GCs charging for home flips? 

Despite this, I have tried to be patient and haven't initiated any eviction proceedings, even though Hawaii Tenant Law allows me to issue a "notice to pay rent" after just 5 days of delinquency.I've heard that if you're having issues with a military tenant, you can contact their commanding officer to help resolve the problem.

Even this is an incomplete list.Worst of all, the main reason not to make this loan is that you will not hold a first position-lien against the property.

We had one where they wanted us to pay for the majority of the costs to replace 1 mile of sewer back to a larger main.  

Have asked a question or 2 on here but have disappeared a few times. 2024 was a busy year for me.

But it turned out, it was his roommate (who moved in without telling me, but turned out to be a good tenant) that was doing the cleaning up.
