I was at the Ferrari dealer the other day just snooping.  175 to 350k... they also had Masteratis they are pretty cool for 75 to 95k...  

I used Craigslist exclusively for years with very good luck but added Zillow (and its affiliate sites like HotPads) for the past few years in addition to Craigslist.

Fix the units up and get tenants in who think they're a great deal and who have proven they can afford them.Sometimes it helps to think in terms of what a car dealer would do, for instance.  

But, I could not have legally managed any other properties for the owner I worked for, without getting my license and being affiliate with a broker - which of course would have made my a lot more expensive :-)So, really, in CA or otherwise, though, I think your costs and maintenance would be less in a multi-family apartment building.You will have to be more aware of tenant conflict, though. 

I don't have any affiliation  with ErentpaymenI other than I am a satisfied customer.

Unfortunately with drug dealers, they are most likely not going to stop, but they may try to be a little more discrete which hopefully buys you a little more time. 

Even though I wanted her to stay because she paid on time, I found her to be very demanding (she did all sorts of bizarre things like claim the neighbors were drug dealers, stalking their activities, hassling others in the community, continuous repairs - I have other properties and no one is as high maintenance as her) and I was upset at the state of my newly rehabbed place.

In other words, it asserts, landlords could be breaking the law when they refuse to rent to black ex-cons with long rap sheets — even if they have no intention of discriminating — because such a policy would likely have a disproportionate impact on them.So now landlords, real estate agents and property managers will think twice before turning away drug dealers and thieves, even rapists, who are members of this “protected class” — even though barring high-risk tenants serves a legitimate, nondiscriminatory purpose.This puts landlords in a terrible legal bind.To protect themselves from federal action, they would be wise to avoid even inquiring about the criminal records of prospective tenants.

Have the police test it (the area if tenants removed it by now)file a reportask about witness protection (who knows what dealers are capable of!)

Most tenants will simply understand bad things will happen if they break a lease and not try it in the first place.Another thing to consider is that drug dealers and prostitutes look for month to month rentals.
