I've done a lot of research on it online, which is possible here, and even gone to see it (pretty recently renovated!?).

My issue-situation-question is this: Because we have made REI our goal, with a plan for a lifestyle change, business objectives , and everything, we are online every day looking for and analyzing deals [as you can see I upgraded my BP account to have full access to the calculators!!!

It's a personal decision for each individual. 

There are great services out there that assist in marketing your property, creating online applications and screening your tenants for you. 

In those cases or other specified large rent increases that cause displacement, landlords would have to pay relocation benefits, with increased benefits for the disabled, seniors and those living with minors.The measure would also create a nine-member rent stabilization board to determine annual adjustments, hear petitions for individual rent increases and pursue remedies in court.

@Steve KenoyerLicensing education is state specific.California, specifically, does not have reciprocity with other states.You'll have to go through the education and testing requirements for both California and Oregon, most likely online.

If you can't find them at the auction or if it is online, you can take the list of your target properties...maybe 10-20 and find out who buys them and go hunt them down after the auction or when they get the property. 

You pay taxes on what is left for you, presumable your half, in whichever way you calculate it.Some of my colleagues will disagree, but I maintain that individuals do NOT issue 1099-INT, ever.

I did this before and unfortunately, I was dragged along for almost a year, but then again this was partially due to the borrower and his lack of due diligence (I’ll take blame too for partnering with the individual) but I like to think that the mistakes I had seen wouldn’t take place if the project was under my watch or to the very least the situation would be handled differently.The properties and deals that I generally see and come across in the South Jersey and Central Jersey areas would need a gap lender that would bring roughly 25 – 45K to the table depending on the area.
