I am from California and I am looking to get into the local multifamily market.

I would check out some local meetups and meet with as many investors as I can.

I would get the list of owners from a local title rep you use, then take that to the local printing shop (all-in-one).

Really your question would be, what are all the possible closing costs and there is a long list there, I suggest getting to know a local closing company to help you and they should have some info on a website.  

I am assuming that you do not have someone that is local with a key that can enter on your behalf...On another note, you have reason to believe that the tenant may need a safety check.

Older homes in neighborhoods like Heights and Montrose are full of charm, character, and history, but may need some renovations.When navigating the market, it's important to partner with a local real estate agent, take into account rental market demand and rates, search for value-add chances, and learn about landlord-tenant laws.

Since I will now be a local landlord of 4 doors I wanted to take over management myself - self manage to save money and have more control.I will use Zillow and FB marketplace to advertise vacancies.

I believe you can search here or on other local to you sites, for a local Roofer that does small repairs.

If your lease is silent on it, it would default to your local or state statute.
