You are in the right place!

There is an extensive network in Sacramento - as Mark mentioned, I host a local REI meetup (it's actually the 4th Tuesday generally) and there are other meetups around town, I can share a list of them if you'd like

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

Colleen has a good point-were they renters or owners and what happened to their place? 

On my renovation, I got one area of the place to a livable condition.

If you want to go that route then do it before you Kilz the place.

For unpaid back lot rents, can a landlord place a lien on a TOH?

We are looking to rehab a place and then do a cash out refinance.Thank you.

Thanks for sharing, Michael. 

A good handyman is a good place to start.
