He's unmarried and and just five years out of college, he's living in young 'hip' area,  his rent is under market and it would be difficult to buy a property in his area that would cash flow as a rental so it makes sense for him;  I think in the situation you described it would be a reasonable thing to do as well.

Logically I am thinking 30-year mortgage as I intend to sell the property within 4 years, not enough time to see a difference in the interest payment (graduation of college) but am not against holding if rents keep sky rocketing to what can be a comfortable COC once I move out. 

I’ve also joined the community facebook page but was just wondering best practices that you’ve seen as most effective.Looking forward to the journey… and im sure that there will be many lessons learned :)

I thought Fair Housing laws explicitly define discrimination as using race, color, national origin, religion, sex, family status or disability (in favor for some and against others) within housing practices. 

Imagine a college type party house with music, lots of people, more than likely some alcohol etc...in a neighborhood with elderly people across the street and a generally quiet neighborhood.

I have dedicated my time at one point to property managing, leasing consultant, Maintenance, birddog, wholesaling, and crunching up lots of numbers on Zillow, Redfin, Loopnet etc.. for self educational purposes and really just getting the time and practice in to sharpen up my skills.  

They do not have to be local to the Bay Area at all, just licensed to practice within CA.

I’ve started to practice analyzing deals one thing that I haven t been sure about assessing is when to sell or refinance a property?

Hi all,I'm curious to get everyone's lessons learned / best practices regarding managing out-of-state rehabs. 

Is this regular practice is this a ripoff or junk fee?
