Hey @Rich O'Brien, late to the party here but curious to see if you were able to find a way out of your tough situation.

Video is very important, shoot walk through video and have that.

The reason you see a person’s name and all their entities listed in a lawsuit is because Plaintiff (the suing party) attorneys have to list everyone and every entity that can be remotely tied to a cause of action, otherwise, if enough time passes and through the legal process discover that a separate entity or just a person was truly liable and they didn’t name them in the lawsuit, they are out of luck.

diversification and cash flowSan Jose, CA has been very appreciation heavy... and i'm not opposed to keeping some property here, though the multi-family / commercial real estate has very low cap rates, and low growth from what i'm seeing.

If you want to build out a portfolio of multi-family rentals that cash flow to the point of not having a W2, that's one thing. 

They’ll have a strong network and be more in tune with the opportunities available in the rental market, whether you're interested in single-family homes or multi-unit buildings.If you're focusing on single-family homes, try to keep them within the same area.

I was initially very pleased to learn that all had been able to purchase multi family properties; I was not to pleased to learn that they all “wanted out”, but felt they were “upside” down and would have to take a loss.  

Currently own my first single family rental and now looking for multi family fairly new to real estate investing.

The tricky part is that if we hold onto it , we surely will be in the red if we decided to rent it out.

-Multi-family here is a little tough to come by.
