One thing I would investigate is the disclosures required about people dying on the property. 

I still have people contacting me 2 years later asking if I know a way they can get their money back.

If the new people want the unit prior to the end of the current tenant's lease, I would tell them they would have to pay the daily rent beginning the day they got the key and took possession.

Would talk to people about partnering if you want to stay in the CA market, not pushing you away from out of state.. but there are deals here that cashflow and make sense too. 

But I might not if it does not make sense to.

GR made the most sense for ski in/ski out and our budget at that time (relative to Summit County, Steamboat, & Winter Park/Fraser).

We usually had around 3 other people renting for us and sold the house a few years later as the largest sell price in that neighborhood to that date.

I have seen a few scary things like "you need to dig up the entire front yard" in other groups but I'd like to hear from people that are actively investing in the city, and meeting the new standards, as to what their experience has been.

Though, yes it's not a guarantee people won't live there and squat illegally. 

People will come up with every excuse why to either buy or not buy a home.5.
