We're hoping that we can manage to get tenants to turn over in the summer, where we can spend a couple of weeks down in DC combining a little vacation in the place with fixing things up and finding a new tenant).Of course I made some mistakes already, too, but I think I'll get away with them this time...So after getting my feet wet, I've been reading about REI, and we do have cash / equity (our primary home is just about paid off) to stuff with, so now I'm considering to get into it in a non-accidental way, and it seems more prudent to look at our local area (NH seacost), but it turns out I have little idea about the purchase/rental market here, and it doesn't seem all that easy to find out (in NoVA, at least, there's a very active market, while here prices seem to fluctuate wildly for no obvious (to me) reason.

I thought that might be true as well but I did a Google Search and read that you can refinance immediately.

I'm also reading 2 books with a goal to finish them in the next week or two.  

Running the numbers myself It seems like a good play, however any feedback would be greatly appreciated before I jump into this one.Thanks!

After reading some on this site and others it seems only a few local banks might do this. 

From what i read there seems to be a little more positive community development there.

Now according to what I am reading on the California Tenant-Landlord Laws, in my situation I obviously am only obligated to giving a 30 day notice.

Appreciate the feedback.
