So, I got the new property rented, and along with other income, started on a strong FAST pay-off period.

Hello BP community,I am strongly considering putting in an offer for a 4-plex.

As a person with extensive use experience of such, I will say at worst would take maybe as much as 1hr to track an heir, emphasis on "an" as the correct tool in this arena, or more specifically the one I used, I could dig up the last 30 years of a persons history, every address, co-habitant, everyone in 1 degree of separation, there 30yr residency/ work. sphere and so on and so fourth. 

We are getting an Apple HQ over the next few years so you'll see continued job and wage growth.I also work with a handful of out-state-investors in both the Raleigh/Durham and Greensboro markets on purchasing rental properties with great success to take advantage of the aforementioned appreciation, great ROI on rental rates, and continued rent growth with the limited housing inventory and incredible demand.You can't go wrong buying in this market especially with the amount of capital you have and what I can only assume to be a strong DTI based on your original post.

You should have a strong lease set up for them to sign & also establish your renting criteria.

It's possible to have a legal basement unit, but usually basement units are not legal units so I'd strongly urge you to ask the building department (NOT tax assessor) the number of legal units on that property, if possible get a zoning certificate confirming that number, etc.

BP is full of great content, so I strongly recommend you to have a look at the following resources:1.

While my profile to borrow is strong, I'm having trouble finding financing due to this non-warrantability.Any tips on how I can find a loan?

As such, we would strongly prefer an agent who focuses on this area as well instead of the NYC area.We have looked at about a dozen properties on our own already but really could use the added expertise an agent would offer.

As far as I know, the market is strong in California and you should have no problem finding a renter at market rate for a one-year lease.Secondly, most renters that ask for a lease longer than one year tend to break it early.
