anyone own rental properties on here?
Only do rentals in landlord friendly states if you want to be in that game.
States like California are terrible for landlords, even if the renter is a POS and in the wrong, it's difficult to get them out of properties. I know 3 people that had rentals back in the 2005-2010 era. They gave properties back to the bank because the renters didn't pay, the homes lost so much value and a couple years of negative cash flow was killing them. I heard 2 of the renters stayed in the properties for 3-4 more years before they were finally tossed out, RENT FREE. There are Free assistance programs out here to help renters if they are being evicted. Total game.
Laws do differ from state to state. Some states you can get someone out in 14 days! Others can take more than a year.
