Also, if any item fails the inspection (except safety items, like smoke detectors), the landlord has 30 days to fix them and there is NO loss of rent.Mike

What was in the trash bag, did you have to contact Airbnb, and did you have to fine them for bringing in a dog or smoking?

Hello,38 years old, happily married with 3 beautiful kids, and a smoking hot wife (just incase she reads this)We just recently become landlords. (2 weeks ago) We built a new home, and rented out the one we have lived in for the past 6 years.   

@donald @Donald Thomas Congratulations on finding a deal and you said something that stuck to me:"Knowing my market, I didn't have to look at comparables to know that this was a SMOKING DEAL."

A couple of concerns with this idea is I'm scared about taking on so much debt since I will be only putting down 3.5% and the fact that the housing market is still smoking hot in the SF bay area. 

When you are in the unit check out functionality of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, appliances and smoke/CO detectors.

The Reason it took me a year to pick a company I was going to jump into this game..was my ads was getting sore from all the smoke blown up it..until Home invest..compleye and total honesty and Transparency.

Two loans were taken out: a bank was primary lender and then a smaller loan with owner financing.I hired a contractor to repair the roof from fire damage, encapsulate the smoke, dry out the building, and perform mold mitigation.
