I know there are Open Houses and New Home sales offices, but can I go into these homes and look around myself without any one being there to sell me something?

@Omar Khan & @Dmitriy Formichenko Thank You guy's for the great tips.

If you use the personal car, make sure to keep detail record so that CPA can prorate the expenses between personal and business.19) Any equipment you rent for the rental business.20) Mortgage interest and property taxes21) There are many others and depends on specific situations.22) Home office deduction:Also, If your home qualify for a principal place of business for RE activity, any mileage to any rental property is deductible.

I know they have an office out in Cali.

Should be easy to find, just find other multis being built there, go to the planning office and ask who is on the permits.

Wonderful tip, thank you!

They can just go to the Clerk of the Court office and just ask what the required legal procedures are to evict.  

He went out to the SFR property and filled up a good sized office trash can with mail left by the tenant, 95 percent of which was from people already in line waiting to collect before me

A few weeks later we received a new deed from our county office by mail.

Fortunately, I worked in consumer credit for a while and could help if it came to that.Talking about selling to people you know, coincidentally, one of the buyers was a local doctor he knew, located 2 blocks away, that wants to buy it to relocate his office.
