Trying to invest while also living in California definitely presents some unique challenges primarily because the cost of living here is so high.Something that has worked for my wife and I being in the Bay Area was initially using an FHA loan to jump into the market and start earning equity.

I can help you I can send you my rate and product sheet and get you done with stated income and verified assets 

Personally, I always view my listings after the PM posts them so I can verify the content. 

I anticipate being off in just about every area but know that I am particularly struggling with the cost of estimating the rehab (even just ballparking it) as well the financial aspect of coming from an initial source of capital (i.e. a hard money loan) and transitioning to a lower interest amortized one.Thanks in advance, can't wait to see everyone tear it apart!

In the other tenanted unit, it appeared that we were very fortunate as they appeared to be a great tenant, easily producing verifiable screening documentation, appeared to be taking very good care of the unit, and a track record of paying rent on-time.

Experienced investors will want to help you if you show initiative, drive, and genuine interest.

Some lenders may verify this by requesting a set of your orders.

Each tenant sets up an account directly with SmartMove, their identity is verified, and then their background info is made available to you once the service fee is paid.

The question is whether you have the right to collect the other costs associated with the initial eviction process.

You might need to pay a couple points initially, but it sure beats 10%.
