I own 9 rentals and the secret is all cost control.

Nathan G. yes I have looked into HML but the interest rate is crazy and most do not seem intended for buy and hold.I am looking into portfolio loans, especially if I can get a loan for $108,400 that will gross $5,105 in rents across 5 different properties.Returns have been fantastic - $11.6k down on the duplex is netting me $576 CF  and $5k down on the SFR is at $357 CF monthlyRelatives and friends are out of the question right now due to various reasons.I understand me not being known because I have not been on this forum for long but all my ducks are in a row and I have had some learning curves but I do already have boots on the ground.  

I provided management, quality control, local contacts, and real estate experience.

Nothing worst than not getting paid AND having your property damaged.Knowing what the moratorium prevents - and doesn't - allows us to act quickly and regain control of our businesses.  

Because this is a month to month lease, am I allowed to be firm and make them leave, or would this be considered an eviction, which I know are not allowed now because of covid.We are planning on renovating the unit and then raising it to market rent.I would also consider allowing tenants to stay if they would be willing to pay closer to market rate, but I don't believe I can legally request that CA rent control laws. 

The advantage is I have full control over the process and can and do work with those customers with abnormal circumstances.

If you delead, and maintain the standard, you will be in the clear.Here's the law (emphasis added by me):460.100: Duty of Owner(s) of Residential Premises (B) Whenever any residential premises containing dangerous levels of lead in paint, plaster or other accessible structural material undergoes a change of ownership and as a result a child younger than six years old will become or will continue to be a resident therein, the new owner shall have 90 days after becoming the owner to obtain a Letter of Full Compliance or a Letter of Interim Control, except that if a child younger than six years old who is lead poisoned resides therein, the owner shall not be eligible for interim control, unless the Director grants a waiver pursuant to 105 CMR 460.100(A)(3).

Yes, transferring title from an individual borrower to an LLC controlled by original borrower is exempt from Due on Sale- D1-4.1-02 of the Fannie Mae servicing guide, allowable exemptions-a limited liability company (LLC), provided thatthe mortgage loan was purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae on or after June 1, 2016, andthe LLC is controlled by the original borrower or the original borrower owns a majority interest in the LLC, and if the transfer results in a permitted change of occupancy type to an investment property, such change does not violate the security instrument (for example, the 12 month occupancy requirement for a principal residence).

Also, did you loan the money to him personally or to an entity he controls?

@Estefania Lozano Hi, by reading throught the comments and looking at the situation, and keep in mind this is my point of view, you need to have her go, give her the 300 back, it is nothing compared to the headaches and bills that will pile up such as, pest control, turn over on the adjacent properties, legal fees, evictions, I can go on.
