@Santiago FelixYou should have no problem finding a company to close your deal, there are two methods here in California and each company chooses to close differently,Some allow an assignment through the escrow and others only want the double escrow.

You want to make sure the QI you choose can withstand the current situation.

It depends on how much customization you choose to do to the signs or if you use the standard template they offer.

There's plenty to choose from.  

Obviously your parents may just want a fresh start with some money in their pockets but if you choose to pursue the property please share the journey on here as I will likely be doing something similar in the years to come. 

Are there any differences in choosing a lender in my local state or in the state I am looking to invest in?

Typically, somewhere prior to year 10, the total accumulated cash flow as a function of the purchase price has surpassed most of the higher initial cash flow areas.In addition, the property value appreciates (because over the long term San Diego always has but mostly because every metric shows that it should).If you desire you could choose to do it again (the final R).I am definitely not indicating that BRRRR is easy or requires no effort (it is not real easy and it requires a fair amount of effort). 

If he does (or will) have a car, you can look a bit further out than the East Side but you do want to be a bit careful as many apartments say they are "East Side" or "close to Brown/RISD" but that can be stretching the truth sometimes.If you need to choose an apartment before you even get into the area to look at places, you may want to go through a rental agent.

I’m just wondering if anyone has any tips on the most cost effective way for choosing shingles/roofers and someone to assess the carport.
