Also I was reading the UG to tenant screening and the links for more info don’t seem to be working?

To suggest or infer that if OOSI didn't come in and buy these properties that they would somehow majestically be better taken care of and the quality of the blighted neighborhoods would improve is just silly.  

It's not only determined by the number of units available but by the quality of property managers already in the market and how you can differentiate yourself enough to attract the business.How to generate leads?

There is too much to know about multis and flips (what’s the property worth, what rehab needs done, how much will the rehab cost, how to screen for tenants, do you know a property management company, how to successfully run the business, etc).

This gives you an idea for the quality of the underwriting.

Consistent screening standards can and do eliminate 99% of welfare applicants without discrimination.  

I still believe CA will have quality tenants comparing to other states. i have to start my journey on the investment.Where do you invest in OOS?

Pros: I can not think of any that would be better than any properly screen applicant.Cons: you are renting to the government. 

Hi @Donna Hutchinson -- let me know if you have any questions about tenant screening, I am very familiar with the topic.

Use the upgrades however do not expect shingles of any quality to realistically last 35/40 years. 25 year shingles will safely last 15 years depending on the climate, attic ventilation, direction roof is facing etc. 40 year might last 25 but that may be a stretch.Metal would be preferred longevity wise however cost prohibitive for a rental.
