Actual development is ongoing and there continues to be job and population growth.

Your California lease agreement should state that ongoing nuisances are a violation of the lease.   

My son graduated from college last June and has been working part time and living in our house, but is planning on going to law school in the Fall of 2020.

I had a property that was NPN and it took me 6 months to get a DIL, before I recorded it I ran another title report and a large lien showed up from a property manager who managed it for the borrower as a rental.

I am a Marine Vet (2013-2018) and currently employed in Iraq, Private Military.

@Lee Castro in my case my partner brought all the down payment and I did all the finding, purchasing, overseeing any needed rehab and ongoing PM.

Tack on an easy application in house lending program with multiple lenders, plus on going training and support, and it all still makes sense to me.So with this post Im sure you're about to see non-HomeVestors BPers post about "why would you spend X amount on a franchise fee when you can just spend that on advertising or buying a house".  

Still on-going, but it has been a very positive experience.

I think you are correct on going with a fixed interest rate if you plan on keeping the property long term.

Im planning on going to college in Iowa where I have previously studied, so this would be our market.But after getting all of that in order I see that working for your business is illegal for me unless I go through different Visa applications.
