This is because California requires landlords to take reasonable steps to keep their losses to a minimum—or to "mitigate damages" in legal terms."

They have every ability to block the lot split and the sales, since your land is pledged as collateral to their loan.I am not a 1031 expert, but I believe the sales would not be eligible for 1031, since the entire intent of the deal is to flip at least part of the property.  

Therefore, damaging the investment by not performing regular maintenance.· Trying to find things to do/charge for when there is no need in order to create additional income.· Long term agreements – trying to make as much money possible of the home while have it locked under contract· Subcontracting!!

But even a small leak can do a heck of lot of damage to the flooring of most vanities and cabinets.Gail

She would be response for any damage since she is on the lease to you.

Needs to be fully gutted and had both fire and water damage.

I would have an honest talk with the tenant and let them know that you WANT to allow her to park there however if you do then you are risking damage to others personal belongings.

Around here, I feel like neighborhoods can go block to block.

Most investors once they get to around 5 or more properties they refinance the block of loans under a commercial loan using their LLC/Business and then those loans do not report to credit because they would all be grouped under a blanket loan.If your lender is stopping you form buying another home and you only have (4) reporting to credit just reach out to a bigger bank/lender. 

The appraisal seems wildly inaccurate in my opinion, ALL 6 of the comps were 13+ blocks farther away towards 82nd Ave, a sketchy area, NONE were in the other direction, Woodstock, of higher value.
