I figured it made sense for me to work a market virtually w/ this system considering California's market "appreciation" in it's current state and how difficult it seemed to find any deals.

A lot of people who sell as a portfolio use it as a way of offloading some homes that would be very difficult to sell individually with others that are more desirable, so they're not left with the trash after the good stuff has been picked clean.

@Yvonne H.This has gone on for awhile now and may be difficult to get her to comply, but it is time to enforce your lease, you have the rules in place.

With approved plans it should not be that difficult.

But in the meantime I've shown it to a couple of investors and agents I know, and I have not gotten a warm response because of the condition it is in so I'm concerned that it may be difficult to move. 

Maybe you found something difficult to navigate, and now you know a better way?

Sorry for this difficult situation. 

@Eric Castelli I know how difficult it can be finding good help. 

I have spoken to some lenders and they say it’s really difficult to get a loan because I am self employed.

In my mind, this will make it difficult for me to make a case of keeping their initial deposit if the unit is trashed.My thoughts were to slightly increase rents 3% - 5% and have them complete a conditions report prior to renewing a 1-year lease.
