Thanks for the info on the two management companies, I'll definitely look them up. 

Since I'm building new, I decided to go for a LEED certification since I'm already half way there since I'm building with Solar and passive home features.

Bi, good questions, because California home taxes are very high and to answer your question about the price because I don’t have more money rn.I heard that NV is a good state to invest in.

I own real estate outside of CA, both in the country and internationally but have chosen to rent in Hermosa Beach due to the high cost to buy a home in coastal southern California.The apartment complex I live in was bought April 1st by an private equity company who gave all the residents a 60 day notice to vacate so they could due a total rehab.   

"The bidding starts at <60% FMV>"4) After you get some bids on Sunday and the open house is over, you start going through the bidder list and calling everyone bu the highest bidder offering them to outbid the highest bidder.5) You repeat step #4 until you bid up the price as high as you can.6) Meet with highest bidder and take a non-refundable deposit (specify this as a "condition" of the bid auction). 7) Close.The idea here is if the highest bidder flakes out, you still have a list of other bidders, everyone just $500 or so lower than the highest bidder.

I definitely am smarter now and have way better knowledge. 

Definitely consult with your lawyer. 2.

They can quote the by-laws by song and verse... be it the decoration you tenant hung on the door, or the tenant's inoperative car, or noise violations, etc, etc.I would definitely check into the rules of the HOA.
