You won’t be doing any background check on anybody living in your property, that’s for the person screwing you to do.

For additional reference, I live in TN.

I own real estate outside of CA, both in the country and internationally but have chosen to rent in Hermosa Beach due to the high cost to buy a home in coastal southern California.The apartment complex I live in was bought April 1st by an private equity company who gave all the residents a 60 day notice to vacate so they could due a total rehab.   

Hello, I currently live in California and have been successfully managing my multiple properties in the Frisco (Texas) area for the last 3 years.

Additionally, working with a local real estate agent can provide valuable insights and assistance in your search for the perfect neighborhood in Birmingham.

Are you planning to rent it out or live in it?

I, the owner, living in one unit of this two-unit building, was never told this.

If she lived in the property 2 of the last 5 years, the first $250K gain is tax free for her.I wonder if the DIL is going to buy an investment property, why not just go in on it with the MIL and then he gets it through right of survivorship.

Reason I ask, is, you may be living in your first rental. 

My husband and I, who live in CA,  are deciding on buying an investment property but we are also taking into consideration my mother, who we currently help with rent down in Lake Nona.
