@Darren NicholsHave you been to any of the investors association meetings in the area? 

Furthermore, as an investor you would need to make it a priority to attend Association meetings and possibly even get on the board so you could provide insight and help maintain a friendly environment for yourself and your tenants.

One of them is associated with real estate investing and I filed them all with the Secretary of State myself without speaking to a lawyer.

We have our business card registered on the site and on the address associated with the card is our LLC name.  

I'd be interested in looking at some wholesale deals you may have. if you'd like to survey my interests, please look at my profile for a good idea as to what we're looking for.

Association fees were $1000 a month though.

In Cali we have standard CAR forms (Califonia Association of Realtors).

The "reptilian" part of our brain located at the back is associated with our deep emotions and the "fight or flight" feelings we humans get.

It is a one bedroom in a great location and is move in ready.The only problem I see is that in the association rules, it states that owners that rent their unit must pay $1,200 per year and also $500 every time a tenant moves in.Are you serious?

He's not realistic enough on the price for me to invest in a survey to see what can be done, at this point.
