Dishwashers and in unit w/d very good selling feature.

Typically state would supersede municipalities and federal would supersede state.  

That is typically what I have rented to I have never had an issue.

The home typically sells for more and the owner (seller) actually gets some marketing for their home.

Some folks are willing to take the risk in the gamble for appreciation, especially here in CA, they are typically purchasing when the market is down, not high as it is now.

I've joined the FB group for the local group but that is a great way to get involved and start getting exposure to the group so I'll ask if I can help with any of the logistics like you mentioned.I have been monitoring on credit karma but did not realize I could set goals on there, that is a great feature!

-My typical ARV is $500-$700k.

@James Jones yeah it is super tough out here because each non owner occupant typically will get 2-3 mailers per property per month. 

- Easements: In my opinion - these are important when you encounter a landlocked property (which isn't necessarily a common thing, but it does come up from time to time) and/or if your intent is to somehow develop or subdivide the property yourself (which isn't something I typically do, and 95% of the land flippers I know don't get into this in a big way).

Typically, the better the Rent/price ratio, the tougher the neighborhood.When I bought my first owner-occupied duplex, we went for a great neighborhood and the other tenant paid roughly 60% PITI.
