The tenant ended up suing us over it since they said they had a moveout inspection signed off on as having no damage, and the PM company tried to get me involved and I simply told them that I hired them to do the management and the move-out inspection was their job so its really none of my business to get involved in the law suit - I have no idea what happened in the courts.

You can even defend suits without "doing business". 

No swimming pool, gym or breakfast. 

There are some GCs better suited for investors and others more appropriate for retail/market rate clients.

Then go to the Court Case records search to see how far along the foreclosure suit has progressed.

@Tevis Verrett if there’s money to be made in California, I’m pretty flexible, I’m just looking for good opportunities and to be on a strong team, I’m good with putting numbers together and figuring out cost take ups and stuff like that, but accounting has never been my strong suit, I’m a field guy/manager, I know what it takes to complete jobs and make them profitable.

@Eli YachiniIf you plan to lower the rate either way in the condo I would think that the Cashout option is going to better suit your needs.

A duplex/townhouse have followed suit. 

While you save more I would look into that strategy and others to see what suits you best. 

It strongly encourage investors to work with different teams in different locations to add perspective & diversity, but you will never truly know for sure which team is the best suit for your goals until you actually do business with them firsthand no matter how much research you do.
