You can have RE agents and PMs assist you, but they are no substitute for doing your own home work.

@Noel Peralta Will your tenant qualify for federal assistance?  

@Long D. can possibly assist.

However if you increase rents 20% or more, the legislation wants you to pay relocation assistance.  

On October 7 HUD issued a ruling that all apartments using agency debt or those with housing assistance must now give 30-days notice to residents before starting to evict them. 

Also many rental assistance programs seem to require the tenant to complete the forms and ,my friend can not contact the tenant.

Lenders' can use upwards of 75% of the projected or historical rents of the rental units to assist you in qualifying for the larger purchase price.

Kindly assist.

So the appreciation has been great (and remember due to prop 13 this appreciation is mostly not reflected in the property tax), but what about the cash flow? 

I'm looking to refine how I'm managing my STR in Lake Arrowhead, and I feel like I'm looking for the holy grail - namely, a reliable, efficient team of partners I can rely on (cleaner, handyman, snow clearing, and general "can't open the door" assistance).
