Did they see the pet restriction prior to original move in? 

I agree, if I were financing the purchase, there would be more restrictions.

These might soften some of the restrictions as currently listed. :)

I have a duplex in Cleveland Heights and they have a portion covered under the CMHA.

The benefit of finding investors acquisitions is your going to get a buy/sell both with in 6 months.I’m out of highland heights I’m always looking for great deals, let me know how I can help!

This means that you will need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.

One idea here would be to ask the title attorney whether the specific deed restriction is enforceable. 

The cost, restrictions and penalties are a horror.
