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.

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. 

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. 

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 .... ).  

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. 

It is actually one of my nicest properties, a townhouse which is worth $300K very close to the train station. 

Heck, if you want to come pick it up, I'll sell you my 1999 B2500 for $3k.What types of things are you buying that only fit in a truck and not a minivan or station wagon?

if I were you, I would stop in the police station myself today and see what they have to say after you explain the situation.
