A phone call determined that the tenant was "in the process of moving" and planned to sleep in the house that night but would have his stuff all gone by the next day.

However the HOA is very high ~$500 and it scares me to think about possible vacancy & the whole process of renting a home out.

I highly recommend you get some help from a local investor or agent to help guide you through the process since this all new to you.

Yeah mate,Too much outside influences and logistical issues with new construction.It's much easier/less risky when you control as much of the process as possible and don't need approval from anyone for "this or that".New build works in other markets but why would anyone new build in 43612, 43613 or 43623 for example when they can buy dirt cheap and renovate for much much less than new build.Just my opinion and there are many ways to skin a cat when it comes to real estate investing 

However, I think the prices in California will cause us to invest out of state and we will just have to learn how to set up the right systems and processes to deal with issues as they come up.

I’m William a Data Analyst from Charlotte/Concord, NC and I’m starting my real estate journey into Wholesaling.For individuals who have been in the industry for a while & those who are fairly new , how did you get your 1st property under contract?

What your ideal buy is changes over time as you gain experience.Post a property you've analyzed and do not plan to proceed with the address and your analysis and you'll get lots of feedback that will help you refine your own process.
