@Heather Luu first, make it more efficient by only worrying about deadbolts.There is actually very LITTLE additional protection a lock handset offers in addition to a deadbolt.On the properties we manage, we remove all keyed doorknobs and just use passage locks. 

Hey Jeremy, thanks for reaching out and offering to help, I really appreciate it!

If you ever are interested in a more affordable market I'd love to connect on what the Midwest has to offer!

Do not offer to pay more rent ever to make the deal happen.   

I second @Erik Estrada Chase offers great programs for business, multifamily, and conventional loans for commercial properties.

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

Samford's business school also offers a concentration in real estate investment and management.

As a retired CPA, I saw plenty of tax returns by these firms that clearly were done poorly. 

I'm not sure where your home is located but many property management companies, like mine, offer tenant screening services so I suggest you utilize that if possible.We pull credit (with score), criminal background, eviction etc. 

I am sure he has come across this plenty of times.
