Hello,I wanted to get some input on our idea for a mission statement:We are committed to buying, rehabilitating, and selling single family homes in the Huntsville, AL area with integrity and professionalism.

And usually the first stop on the search is Sacramento, just a mere two hours away near the top of the state’s Central Valley.But besides the astronomical housing prices, there’s one other thing that Bay Area investors are looking to escape in looking for greener pastures… rent control.If you’ve been asleep at the wheel, you might have missed the news that the state of California will have a measure on November’s ballot to repeal the Costa Hawkins law passed in 1995 the prohibits local communities from enacting rent control policies.COSTA HAWKINS LAW QUICK OVERVIEWNo Rent Control on Single Family HomesNo Rent Control On Properties Built After February 1st, 1995Allows Landlords To Raise Rents With New Tenantshttp://www.kcra.com/article/ca-ballot-measure-aims-to-help-cities-like-sacramento-with-rent-control/21756945*** One tenant in the video says she’s living in an 813 sq ft dump off Fruitridge and paying $1,400/mo in rent.

In any event, the real answer --- as you know --- is to talk to a CPA or other qualified tax professionals. 

@Josh StackI would just mail them a very professional looking letter letting them know you are interested in purchasing their portfolio.

Be prepared to not get paid much for a couple months while you get things going, and then be prepared for the market to change and give you a dry spell.Some common expectations with having a RE license is that you'll work in a professional industry full of professional people that treat this like a business and treat colleagues as such; However that's not really how it goes.  

This property we were targeting a couple, retiree, single business professional.

Besides introducing myself, I'm looking to network with individuals both my age or older who are active on these forums to build a young investors/RE professionals group in Socal.

People hate conflict.....so they ignore what they should do because it can be "messy' and hope for the best....and then seem shocked when the outcome is 100x worseYou don't have to be an a-hole to handle this in a professional, tactful and friendly way......but it should be handled, not ignored

We typically rent to urban professionals for above market rental rates. 

There are tons of numbers and interconnected relationships going on in our professional commercial multifamily spreadsheet.
