Yet we're still here and seeing year after year of housing gains.That said, I feel Northern California is tech-centric and tied to the health of that one particular industry.

As of yesterday I am officially a licensed Realtor!

We did speak with a Real Estate Lawyer who looked at all of the leases (they were one page leases written by the old owner, nothing official or state approved) So we had hope that we could get out of them, but we are stuck with them until December.

Our broker informed us that it is now our responsibility to work with the tenant, as the month to month lease is officially expired at the end of this month with no security deposit in place.

Now today after nearly 6 months of working to learn how to invest in the mobile home park vertical, and working to find a deal I’m officially under contract on one that will be a really fun project.

I started another case with another lawyer and finally had an official eviction date on September 30th, 2016.

This is not to say it's the best option for everyone, but it's what works for me and is what I think will ultimately protect my money the most.Besides a health cash reserves stash I want no extra cash laying around.

I added value to the seller by him getting more for the house than he would have on the open market and not having to clean it up or compromise his health with al the stress of a sale.

Is there anything we should do before we officially bring our deal to the bank? 

Plus, too cold.....Florida sunshine is much better for the health!
