I've had some helpful reps and some reps that are level than polite.

Under California foreclosure law, can a vendor place a mechanics lien on a home for work performed for the prior owner after the foreclosure sale and the recording (perfecting) of the deed?

Guests value rentals that are easy to navigate, especially because shorter stays require more urgency than LTRs.

They then issued a special assessment where each owner got charged a percentage of the total bill that included the expensive sewer line replacement, but our portion was less than we would have paid to fix our own unit, so we were fine with that.

Quote from @Aarati Shrestha: Rents are currently 30% - 50% cheaper than mortgages in the USA.

Sellers often value a quick, guaranteed close over the possibility of a higher, but less certain, payout.

We have had some losses taken by insurers causing reinsurance contracts to be renegotiated much higher rates than previous years and the state has approved price increases on admitted markets.

What's the lowest credit score you will allow?

My advice is to try to increase your current income, focus on saving, and build your credit.

Alternatively I could buy 1 house that requires less rehab.
