Know that you will get phone calls / texts when something goes wrong or if your tenant is having issues w the property, etc.It all boils down to personal preference, goals, etc.Good luck!

Has anyone else had similar issues?

@Lee BrewerI'm not a seasoned landlord, but I am very seasoned with writing leases and dealing with tenant-landlord issues from my work as an agent. 

I appreciate this program because it pay quickly with any damages to the property issues after the tenant departs.

If you're talking about CC debt and low credit scores I encourage you to correct those issues.

I have my contractors out there, and if I see something that might need to be repaired soon, I just get it done, while others will wait until an issue comes up.There are 3 different kinds of people in this world:They all walk into a property:Person 1: "wow this is perfect for rent, there's nothing here you have to do!"

But there's are a host of other California (and Washington and Oregon) issues to consider: 1) Rent control.

While it is difficult and time-consuming to get approved, the main issue is that the interest rate will run well into double digits and, to add insult to injury, you get taxed on the interest you're paying and you're forced to take a life insurance.

I wanted to do a quit claim deed in a similar situation and my attorney told me exactly what you said "Why bother with a quit claim deed when you can issue a warranty deed?"
