When you buy turn key your buying rehabbed not Brand new... from the pics of this house I don't think this was Turn key at all.. it looked like it was lived in.. and your buying an existing rental with whatever hair comes on it.

The Century Plaza Towers do look correct in the pic and if you are to the east of them looking westward, you should be able to see the sunset where it is shown in the pic because the area is pretty flat in West L.A. and Santa Monica to the south of Wilshire Blvd.

Yes, I know, you'll always have to live somewhere, and that (usually) costs money whether renting OR buying, BUT, the idea of "house hacking" is to ameliorate your rent/mortgage expenses, if not eliminate them altogether (because the other rent/s CAN sometimes pay for ALL those expenses)!

As a small landlord, I am trying to find a way to switch from paper checks to electronic payments for rent collection, in an effort to eliminated a cumbersome, recurring task of scanning, signing, and/or visiting a bank branch, waiting in line, and depositing, or mailing and tracking paper checks.

It is difficult to assess situations like this without seeing it, would you be able to post pics or the drain along with the terrain of the yard?

Is it worth getting an actual photographer to take pics of the unit, or is an iPhone good enough..?

You can upload some pics and get some advice from BP members if you'd like.
