To update: on the day I received a judgement for the eviction, I decided the timing was good to take the check to the police station to make a fraud report on the NSF check I received from tenants friend for her rent. 

I've never been a fan of those moral compass type employee questionnaires and we would never use such a questionnaire in our tenant screening.However, we do query our tenants about basic household operations and provide them with an orientation (here is the main cut-off for the electrical; here is how you shutoff the natural gas; here is water shutoff; here is the fire extinguisher & here are the dates upon which you can go down the street to the fire station to learn how to use one .... ).  

I'd target the SF Bay Area Craigslist ads, and include info on commute time to SF, and how close the rental is to the Amtrak station, etc., for commuters.My friends live in Fairfield and work in Martinez. 

Good Evening BiggerPockets,My name is Mikhail Andrade and I'm a motivated beginner real estate investor located in the Yuba City/Marysville area of California (45 minutes north of Sacramento).I'm an enlisted Contracting Officer stationed at Beale AFB.

Yes, the cities are geographically close but consider that for a very long time transit connections into the employment centers of San Francisco and Oakland were lacking in the far East Bay until the opening of the Antioch and Pittsburg eBART stations in 2018 that really drove prices up.

When I was stationed in North Dakota back in 2004 we rented a SFR for about $800/mo. 

Supply did not meet demand, and I'm talking a town of 200 people - with a forest service station. 

@Ruben Esparza I am an active duty Marine stationed in San Clemente, CA.

Join the armed forces and get stationed overseas, you can’t foreclose while they are on active duty, and then must wait 120 days in addition to the regular state foreclosure time5.

Because they provide a better product than other gas stations (where I live anyway).
