Great job @Joshua Ketter- If this was a short sale, how long ago did the old owners buy it since the market has been going up for some time?

Welcome and great job with your properties!

Mostly wondering if anyone who has been in this or similar position successfully re-negotiated a deal and how it was done.Thank you!

“Targeting” certain renters based on type of job is a fair housing problem. 

Their job is to make the financing work for you.

I was wondering if anyone has done a deal in this area and can walk me through the main steps.i.e: Is an attorney required, who contacts the title company, earnest money deposit....

Wondering if anyone knows if there will be a book sale this coming Black Friday?

its a tough job.. and you need reserves .. however if you put in your time and build up your clientele baseat about 5 to 7 years maybe 10 almost all your business will be referral. 

While it is lower today it remains to be one of the highest cities in CA with limited job opportunities.My advise is expect for contingency putting reserves in the right places.

Clearly I can't expect anyone to magically connect a neutral wire but I'm wondering if anyone has ideas past battery powered lights to give these guys some light.Of course... being from Africa living in a tent they live that way here too and cover the windows and walls entirely.
