Material breach of rental agreement is easy to proof; however, it is something that can be fixed with reasonable effort or expense, while keeping the contract in effect, it's less likely to be material.I am aware that the California eviction process is simple, however it certainly becomes complicated once the tenant decides to challenge the eviction.Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know much about it but I have read the ultimate beginners guide on this site and hope to learn more from the experienced people on this site.  

As far as Zillow, just like Realtor.com and others, those are marketing sites that are reselling your info. 

You can go to a site like Fiver and get someone to design it for you.

You can also look on your county tax asessor's site to see where the owner lives.

All:There is supposed to be additional guidance coming out this fall from the Federal Government and MN DEED has a section on their WEB site dedicated to this topic as well. 

Then the Assignment of Sale Contract is delivered to the title company together with the Purchase Contract.I am not sure what Purchase Contract you use, but keep it simple, no more than 2 pages.

It is always best that the tenant not be home and not be talking with your contractors..Give 24 hr notice and make sure you are on site with the contractors.

I did call the police department, and they directed me to a city web site that lists all the crimes by neighborhood and street in the past 6 months.
