Currently we are dealing in single family homes and non-commercial multi-family but have future growth visions on mid-sized commercial multi-family as well as STR's.Outside of real estate, I enjoy God - Family - Fishing and Friends.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Either way, I would definitely recommend checking with your state's legal guidelines as well as getting legal council just to be sure you stay within both your's and the tenant's rights. 

I am more on the cash flow team, but would also trying to get something for our future generation as well if possible.

I personally would give all of my complaints and responses to prospective tenants, but whether that would protect you from liability I have no idea.might want to contact your local newspaper about the lack of city response. 

I thought this was the case as well. 

You might be able to get some random Edison technician to say, "Well, I guess it would be okay," after eyeballing it, but that's no guarantee that after you buy the property, Edison or Long Beach or someone comes along and says you can't. 

I am in the area as well, would love to connect!

A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.

Be careful with the tenant, as well, as stated herein. 

Being newer we are open to any advice for the area as well!
