Hi Katie, I wasn’t sure where to start in SoCal either but what I’ve done is I bought a SFH with a detached garage in riverside county.

VA doesn't allow this so the moneys to be paid are added to the project. 

I would not to take on unlimited risk of a capital call from a management company I cannot change.What is the resale market like? 

This is because the special allowance is reduced to $0 since the modified adjusted gross income is over the $100,000 amount.There are several examples with different limitations in this publication - so I would read it to make sure which one applies to your situation..My guess is that your CPA is on point... but will let you be the judge.All the best!

Do i need to be certified or do some official thing to take in a tenant like that?

Also the years and unit count add up, we have great tenant retention so while the number of unit/years is possibly 500, I suspect LTR tenant count is ~50.  

Contact the condo association directly to request access to their official records, which should include maintenance logs, financial statements, and details on planned improvements or repairs.To ensure the information you receive is accurate, consider consulting with a real estate attorney or a local real estate professional.

My main goal has been to keep buying rental properties, however, so far my experience has been a very challenging one in Canada because of the tenancy laws, and interest rates.

Even went ahead and tried to call the contact number on their site and got a voice mail. 

I learned a lot building my geo dome and other cabins, so I'm sure I'm in for some surprises again.
