Hello BP family.4 months ago I rented to a young man and did not do my homework.

I would recommend bringing that lease to a Landlord/Tenant lawyer if things get bad.As for some general things that are prohibited practices; eviction based on a protected class (family, kids, race, etc) is one of the big ones federally.

But put two tenants in a place less than a year, with no kids, no pets, and they are shot to heck. 

We had a water heater leak that flooded one of the kids bedrooms.  

I do think $25k is almost absurdly low, and it is likely a much higher offer would still give you a good deal, but do your homework and make the offer that would work for you.

Old people with spouses and kids and reputations and whatnot don't always have that option.Good luck to you!

Just make sure you do your homework on the turnkey operators.  

Other than cute kid and animal pics, it's such a time waste for me

Not to offend Anybody but I know also Real estate is a Up and down business my family is been in Real estate for 4 Generations so, a lot of mentors are has beens, which made a lot of money or maybe just gained a lot of experience, and some exaggerate what they really did, like many people do and that is fine, some do it just for the pleasure of helping and who doesn't want a little extra cash flow my business is based on the Mentoring kind of, since I am Consultant for some big private equity firms, and private individuals but I share my knowledge for free with some cool guys some other guys who think they are super cool themselves if you know what I mean I charge them a lot cause I don't want to be dealing with them if I am not getting paid, I am sure there is many different kind of people that do it for many many reasons. but just remember not everybody that wrote a book on how to flip houses is millionaire, and not everyone who became millionaire wrote a book on flipping house is a tricky industry, I am glad you have had a good experience when I was studying to get my RE license way back when I was 18, I had a professor who brag about living beachfront, brag about selling 10-15 homes per month, and I was very confuse why does he teach a night class at community college so I look into it as any young kid would do and it was all a big lie....Ps: we love Downey, was one of the first areas my family build on south Downey 25 years ago   so watch out @Tommy Martinez

That is only meant as advice.If you want to give kids or family a place to stay then let them stay for free.
