If it is a lease, assuming that lease is not up any time soon, then you will need to start with an eviction. 

One is we don't have a lot of MF to start with in my opinion. 

U have to look at your contract many have mandatory mediation so start there.then you have to look at the strength of the builder. 

HI there,I'm fairly new to BP and just getting started with my investing.

My questions refer to starting out with rental properties.

I am starting from the bottom up and am in need of some first steps that would be beneficial to start my career off.

Thinking of house hacking to start.  

I’ve been paying off extra principal each month but have started thinking it might make more sense to save up that amount and do a recast when it gets large enough to increase cash flow.

@Stanley Smeltzer That's a good starting point.

One of my clients around 10 years ago that grew up in San Jose CA, he informed me that his Uncle back home started buying affordable homes & lots that bordered areas that commanded a higher price.
