.- Closed 7/20, larger 3/2, 1700 sqft,  subject to, took over $950 payments at $125k balance, rehab $30k, rents $1400. 

I ask because I’m looking to buy an apartment in Oakland, CA to live in at first, but I’d like to rent it out eventually and ideally not have it be subject to rent control.

If you want to do buy-and-hold or BRRRRs, then there are 2 options for that refi portion - refi the subject property, or refi your primary residence.

There are also a couple active REIAs that have frequent meetups in the MSA: ATL REIA GA REIA.

@Hunter Heimer Quick suggestion would be to read @Brian Burke's book, and also @James Kandasamy's book on the subject.  

Is there a less subjective way to do this?

If I buy the beach house with my mother, am I subject to capital gains?

It ensures they are treated fairly and that their disability is accommodated for but they are still subject to rent increases, lease violations, and even eviction.Treat them like a regular person (honestly, fairly, and according to the law) and you'll be fine.

This way, at least I could keep a good track of items being ordered for each property, how frequently they are being requested, etc..Thank you all for the inputs!

I've been doing research into how to do it and as far as I can tell the process is that I pay off their missed payments and then do creative financing like subject to or owner financing with the owner to get the property.My question is, can I still buy a Pre-Foreclosure by helping the owner to pay off the missed payments and then get the property subject to if there has already been a Notice Of Trustee's Sale?
