What I love about real estate is that it is intellectually challenging because you can never know it all; always more to learn!

The place where you will have a challenge is the transfer tax statement document.

Mostly interested in costs and processes of registering a rental property, obtaining/maintaining lead certs,  or any other cost or challenges that an inexperienced potential landlord may overlook before jumping in.Any information that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you are very well funded this whole process will be pretty hard, especially if you are looking to do this on a consistent bases.In todays environment, you really need to figure out how to go directly to the owners of dears. 

Hi Edward,I'm here in Silicon Valley and looking at the same challenges as you.
