Depending on how much money I put down (provided the lender agrees for less than 20%), I calculated my monthly mortgage, condo fee, taxes, PMI and insurance to be somewhere in the $3100 range, which I could be breaking even.  

At some point they decide to break them up and sell off individual units..The result is a hodgepodge of different owners and management practices.  

Can anyone tell me if it is legal to include an early lease break clause in Oakland, CA?

You would be looking at 7-10 years if not more before you would possibly be at a break even point of market value.  

If the tenant is on a lease and breaks it, they are still responsible for paying rent until you fill the vacancy - at least in WA state.

Hello,I have a tenant that has an expiring lease in at the end of August and she doesn't want me to show the house while she is living there, even though my lease says otherwise.Back story: About a 2 months ago the tenants came to me saying they were planing to break their lease early because her boyfriend is moving for a new job.

I am very interested in breaking into the downtown market of Newark, most of our stuff is west of town and I feel that downtown has the chance to appreciate the most.

Leveraging is a good way to buy multiple properties, create more tax breaks through interest deduction and create larger cash flows down the road.

They signed a one year lease and are moving at the end of this month, breaking the lease nine and a half months early. 

She's paying $950 which is below market value, but I gave her a break for signing a two year lease.
